Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”EMMANUEL — God with us!Yes, Christmas is often misunderstood and misrepresented. But we should still honor both His birth and His death. The world will gladly clutter the season with Santa, elves, and reindeer, trying to drown out the true meaning. Don’t let their distractions rob you of a day meant to remember the moment God stepped into our world.This year, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus—the real reason for the season. He was born to die for you. Look at His life, His mission, and the salvation He came to bring. He is the greatest gift ever given.Romans 5:15 “But not as the offence, so also is the free gift… much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.”
