It's amazing how everywhere is lit with joy and celebrations. The streets are busy with people and activities, hotels and bars are filled to the brim. Recreation centers are bubbling with kids and their parents
What are they celebrating?
The whole world is celebrating. Christmas trees and lights are seen in all the major streets. Every 25th December is a public holiday all over the world.
Why is it a public holiday?
It has become an official universal day of happiness and love sharing. Exchange of gifts and other things
But it is even more shocking that most people do not even know the reason for the season; which is why some people try to emphasize that "Christ is the reason for the season"
People are carried away by the euphoria and different activities that accompany the season. Everybody likes Christmas season because of the "gift(s) but only few people remember the giver of the gift(s)
It is in the nature of human beings to appreciate the gift more than the giver of the gifts; they seem to forget that the gift can expire at any time, the gifts can be used up within a short time but the giver remains!
All around the world today, you see and hear about Sancta Claus, Christmas tree, Christmas lights and so on. Hardly do you hear about the main reason for the season, Jesus Christ the new born king. He is the reason for the season
It will surprise you to know that a lot of people celebrating do not even know what they're celebrating especially none christians; some people think we're celebrating Sancta Claus, some think it's the tree, others think it's just a season to be happy once in a year
No! Jesus Christ the new born king is the reason for the season and no one else, nothing else
Educate your children about this, tell your neigbours neighbours and everyone who cares to to know that Christ is born today and he is the reason for the season.
Celebrate Christ the new born king, do not allow anything to distract you from the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas!
You are absolutely right.On Christmas is only important that our king Jesus Christ is born.In our family we know this and we celebrate this beautiful event.
