The Real Reason

Luke 2:11

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,

which is Christ the Lord."

    During this Christmas let's all reflect on the real reason for the season. Not the reason to give or receive gifts, but to recognize the "Birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." I know we all have read or been told that Christ was not born on Christmas but in early spring. If we do research we will find that He was born around that time, and not in the winter. My Friends, the bottom line is, no matter when Christ was born "He Was Born"!
    It is a wonderful thing that the story should tell that the first announcement of God came to some shepherds. Shepherds were not liked by the people of that day. They were unable to keep the details of the ceremonial law; they could not observe all the meticulous hand-washings and rules and regulations. Their flocks made far too constant demands on them; and so they were looked down on.
    It was to simple men of the fields that God's message first came. We have already seen how in the Temple, morning and evening, an unblemished lamb was offered as a sacrifice to God. It is most likely that these shepherds were in charge of the flocks from which the Temple offerings were chosen. It is awesome to know that the shepherds who looked after the Temple lambs were the first to see the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, there in a stable in Bethlehem.
    All through these readings we must have been thinking of the rough birth of the Son of God. You would think that, He would be born in a palace or a mansion. My Friends, We have a God who knows the life we live because He too lived it.
Amen!
