I don't like the term: "Jesus is the Reason for the Season."
It's not that it's not true. It's rather that it doesn't say enough; it seems flippant; and, it's too limited.
Yes, Jesus is the reason. But why?
Because He was born? Yes, that's what we celebrate at this time of year, but, it doesn't go far enough.
Why was He Born? That's the real question.
He was born to die, to rise again, to save us.
Save us from what?
From our sin. That is why we celebrate His birth. It's the beginning of the story. It's the beginning of our own second birth. And it ought not to be a season. We should celebrate and rejoice all the time in the knowledge of His wonderful salvation.
