The Reason For The Season?
For a few decades now Christ-ians have been proclaiming that JESUS is the reason for the season of Christ-mas. While I understand that and have proudly proclaimed it, I have come to the conclusion like many others that it is not true. What? You ask.
JESUS is why we celebrate Christ-mas, the celebration of His birth as The Lamb of GOD to take away the sin of the world. He is the cause of the season; if JESUS had not been born we would not celebrate Christ-mas. Because JESUS was born of a virgin as prophesied and lived a sinless life overcoming every temptation that is common to humanity, was rejected by his own people and crucified on a cross as prophesied; rose on the third day as prophesied and ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of His Father – GOD Almighty, as prophesied, and now waits for His Body in the earth – The Church to make disciples of the nations so He can return to Rule the nations for one thousand years as prophesied, we celebrate Christ-mas – the birth of JESUS Christ as The Son of Man.
So if JESUS is the cause of our celebration of His birth, what is the reason for His birth? Us! Humanity!
The reason that GOD did everything in the flesh as His own Son is that we were (are) sinners lost to eternal damnation! Adam sinned against GOD in the very beginning when there was no sin in the earth and humanity lost its immortality and every one of his descendants (all of the human race) are born as sinners, destined for eternal damnation.
But GOD knew that this was going to happen and He prepared a plan to redeem us back as His children – that is the reason for JESUS’ birth , death, resurrection and ascension! Study 1 Peter 1:17-21; John 1:1-4, 35-36; Romans 5:20-21, 6:23; 2 Corinthians 5:21.
So rejoice for we are the reason for the season, we celebrate JESUS’ birth because it is the sign of GOD’s Great Love for us and the beginning of our Salvation!
