It’s almost Christmas and everything seems picture perfect here in Northern Michigan. The snow coming down, the bare trees covered in snow, the Christmas music in the background seem to add to the beauty of the season.

Then I think of the reason that we as Christians celebrate Christmas. We don’t just celebrate his birth, but the real reason for his coming, to die for us. I’m so glad that he came in human flesh to save us, the perfect sacrifice to take away our sins. He didn’t stay in the grave though.

Now that is something to really celebrate about.

If that is something to celebrate, then it is something to tell others also. We need to (I included) share Jesus’ love this season and tell others the good news of his coming to save us. I want to share his love this Christmas with others and I need all the help I can get.

Have a Merry Christmas and remember that Christ came to die for you.
