Just thinking - 

'Tis the season . . . .

Interesting that people try to hide the fact that the reason for celebrating Christmas is the birth of Jesus.  Yet, no one who has studied history denies that Jesus is a real person who lived on this earth about 2000 years ago. In fact, the plurality of people who live today self identify as Christian.  And, as Christians we believe Jesus is the promised Messiah. 

The book of John in the Bible tells us all about Jesus and why He came.  Yes, John makes it clear that there is one question that each person must answer, "Who is Jesus?"  The simple answer for those who identify as Christian is, "He is my savior and my Lord."

Without Jesus, there no Christmas.  Not even X-mas.  

With Jesus, there is peace and joy that can't be explained.  

There is hope in the midst of life's storms.  

There is abundant life for today and eternal life for the future.

. . . . to celebrate the good news of the birth of Jesus - our Lord and Savior.
