What is CHRISTmas?

It is ALL about JESUS!

As we come up on this Christmas season, a lot of us tend to lose focus what the reason for celebrating is all about.We get bombarded with crazy ideas on how we can make somebody happy by buying that special gift or on the other hand wondering constantly if we are going to receive that gift we feel we rightfully deserve. On a personal note, I was there at one time in my life and it was not too long ago.
Stressing out and living the LIE of the commercialized Christmas. We need not live like that no more.It can still be exciting, even without the big jolly guy. Let us be honest with one another, we all know who fronts the bill for the gifts.This life is about being honest and this is one silly little falseness we can all live without. It is not us trying to take the fun out of it, but it is about putting the TRUTH back into CHRISTMAS. It is great to gather as a family around Christmas , but we need to remember what we are gathering to celebrate.Let us remember as CHRIST FOLLOWERS, it is ALL about JESUS.
To all my family, friends, people I have meant once, or people who I may have never meant…..JESUS loves you! He wants you to receive that FREE GIFT this CHRISTMAS season. That Gift is ETERNAL LIFE. This life here is temporary ,but with JESUS as your SAVIOR HEAVEN is FOREVER. It is not about presents, it is about HIS PRESENCE. This holiday season is not about this big jolly guy handing out gifts, it is about the FREE GIFT IN A SAVIOR THAT WAS BORN NAMED ’JESUS’.

IMPACTING THE COAST FOR JESUS

Most definitely I should and I could and I would......

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.~Luke 2:1-21
