The Real Reason for the Season




Tis the season to be merry. Christmas has become synonymous with presents,
giftwraps, merry making, rich foods (and drinks), Santa Claus etc. Its not all bad except we should never forget the real reason for the season - Jesus Christ. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Lord, who was born inside a stable, alongside cows, sheeps, and other farm animals. Christmas is really about God giving Himself to the world that He may reconcile the people to Him. Christmas is primarily about giving and less about the festivities. As we celebrate Christmas we should remember another type of giving - giving up all the foods we should not eat and tobacco. Eat healthy - give yourself a good gift instead.
