Yes you read it correctly and that is the question, Is Jesus the Reason for the Season, and I have come to the conclusion that He is not the reason for the Season. Christmas Celebrates his birth. But the Reason for the Season is you and me. Yes you and Me John 3:16 tells us For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God sent his Son for you and for me. That is why He was born so the reason is us. Can you imagine sending your child to take on the sins of the Earth? So vile so despicable that Jesus questioned His Father "Why have you forsaken me?" God for a moment had to turn His head, as He could not look upon such sin as His son took on. And He did this for you and me. AND God new this when He sent Him. He knew about the pain and suffering, the hard work, that He would be ridiculed and finally His death, a horrible death. So ask yourself was it for the Season or was it for you and me?
So When you hear Jesus is the reason for the Season take a moment to think that you are so loved that God sent Jesus for you and me.
Merry Christmas
Jim
