The Reason for the Season

For from him and through him and to him are all things. —Romans 11:36

Imagine it’s evening on Christmas day. Your favorite people have come and gone. All the buying, wrapping, and opening is over for the year. Soon enough, the warm fuzzies of Christmas will be gone.

Did you miss the Perfect One whom all of this is about? Did you get caught up in obligations and miss the Christ of Christmas? Are you worried you might?

Jesus is the reason for the season. Though it’s a happy holiday, more importantly it’s Christmas. An event that changed all of our forevers, forever. On top of other pressures we experience this time of year, those of us who recognize the tiny baby wrapped in swaddling clothes as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords feel an extra pressure to keep Jesus where He belongs—in the center of it all.

I bring you glad tidings of great joy. Are you ready? Romans 11:36 hands you the key that unlocks a peaceful, wonder-filled Christmas. It’s the same key that unlocks a peaceful, wonder-filled life: it’s all about Jesus.
