Xmas
It’s nearly December, so it’s nearly Christmas.
But unfortunately this World celebrates this day very differently from Christians.
The World has invented other things to make this a more world like holiday which does not require faith. Therefore things like Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, the elves, Santa’s home, Rudolf the red nosed reindeer, songs and the like have been invented by humans for humans and they have been quite successful.
There is a commercial for Kmart layaway and one that shows elves & says “we’re shopping for Santa but our bonuses don’t come until December.”
But Christmas is totally different from things that we can do or buy. We can’t make Christmas happen! God made Christmas happen. And it’s not about what we get or if we are happy! It’s about God loving us, more than we can know and giving us the ultimate gifts: His family, His prescience and eternal life with Him!
So the next time you see a commercial for Christmas (there are no commercials for Salvation) or see a picture or hear a song about the World’s Christmas, remember that there is really much much more to Christmas than you can create, so think about God & make sure that children know the truth.
