Obviously, the first part of the word Christmas is Christ. It is very fitting as we see this hidden yet obvious great truth. But so many times in our secular and Christ less society Christmas is made to be everything but with Christ. Frosty, Santa and Rudolph have taken a big part of the message. I realize all of these are the secular fun part of Christmas and to each his own on this. But the gap gets wider and wider as the years go by in our new millennium. We are 16 years into the 2000's and there is less and less emphasis with Christ.
Perhaps, there are many reasons for this, one of which is many religions do not believe in Christ. They reject and deny Him, as the bible says in the Gospel of John, he came into his own and his own received him not. Also, there are the agnostic and atheists who have their say. And,to me, ALL of this is so sad as I have been raised from a child to believe in God and Jesus. I have been taught a faith based religion based on the word of God, The Holy Bible.
But the truth is the truth and the obvious is obvious, as is this, "CHRISTMAS begins with Christ" and that's enough said. We can also quote an old reoccurring phrase "Jesus is the reason for the season" Does that sound familiar, it's a truth and now have to remind the world.
Wow, I just checked Google images for "Christmas" and wow, what did I find ?? Christmas trees, Santa and Christmas declarations and all things because of the season, but nothing about Christ. Folks, this is why as Christians have sound the alert and stand for Christ !!
