Christmas is About Christ

You've heard the phrase so much it is practically a cliché.  Jesus is the reason for the season.  That said, the truth is, without Christ, what is Christmas?  Jesus Christ, His birth, His life, and His death is the reason we celebrate Christmas.

Each year seems to get more and more tumultuous, but with the impeachment, the violence in the streets, the Marxist infiltration made known through Black Lives Matter and the arrogance of the Democrat Party, the scamdemic Chinese coronavirus and the tyrannical protocols including face masks, and the steal of the 2020 Election after four years of planning (and last minute fraud to make up for their underestimation of the popularity of Donald J. Trump) by those who stand against individualism and Liberty, we have to understand that in the end all of that is minor.  In the end, all that matters is our relationship with Christ, and understanding the Gift of Salvation given to us when God came down to be made flesh, and die a gruesome death for our sins.

I am not saying those political things don't matter.  I will fight for Liberty until my dying breath.  But what we are facing is larger than the political games we find ourselves engaged in.  For His Sacrifice, we have become targets.  For believing in Him, we have become someone they hate.  Keep the Faith, for He is in control, but be aware, their plans are worse than even you can imagine.

We are in a spiritual war.  Let us not forget who we serve.

On Christmas Day, let us celebrate the birth of our Lord.

God reached down from Heaven to give us a Gift, and one day a year we celebrate the birth of that Gift.

Scripture states that Jesus Christ was born as a child. God made into flesh the savior of mankind. The Messiah.

Matthew 11:28-30 (King James Version) 28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Luke 2:10-11 (King James Version) 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:14 (King James Version) 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Isaiah 7:14 (King James Version) 14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:23 (King James Version) 23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Isaiah 9:6 (King James Version) 6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 3:16 (King James Version) 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
