A Reason for the Season

Christmas time can be wonderful if we get to spend some time with our families, away from our homework, and giving and receiving gifts! But are these great things the reason for this holiday?

In the Bible, God tells us that he sent his one and only son, Jesus to the earth as a little baby. You can read the story for yourself by reading Matthew 1:18 until Matthew 2:12. In this story, God teaches us about the miracle of Jesus' birth. He was born so that He could live on the earth as a man and later on, die on the cross to save us from our sins. Because Jesus died on the cross for us, we will be able to spend forever with God in heaven! :)

This holiday season, we want to encourage you to read your bible and talk to God by praying to Him. Take some time to remember and thank God for sending us His son Jesus - this is the true reason for the season!
