Today as we are entering
the CHRISTmas season, let us reflect upon the REASON FOR THE SEASON.
“Behold
the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29
I LOVE decorating a pretty
table for CHRISTmas....
But, this is NOT the
reason for the season.
I LOVE CHRISTmas
decorations around my house.
But, this is NOT the
reason for the season.
I LOVE celebrating with
friends.
But, this is NOT the
reason for the season.
I LOVE shopping for gifts
for my family.
But this is NOT the reason
for the season.
I LOVE baking CHRISTmas
cookies with my grandchildren.
But this is NOT the reason
for the season.
As fun as all of these
things are (and there is nothing wrong with them), these things are
NOT the REASON for the SEASON.
This season of CHRISTmas
is so that we will BEHOLD JESUS!! To behold means to gaze upon. It
is more than a mere glance.
JESUS is the centerpiece
of CHRISTmas. It is HIS birthday that we are celebrating, his
entrance onto the scene of the great narrative of the Bible. His
birth, like no other in the history of mankind, changed the world.
HE changed MY world. What about yours?
So, let us not forget the
REASON for the SEASON. It is JESUS, the Lamb of God. Let us glance
at the trappings of the season, but let us BEHOLD Him and fix our
gaze daily upon HIM!
Proverbs 31 ministries
shared this inspiring devotional yesterday which describes this
further. Hope it blesses you as it did me.
