With Christmas just around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to reiterate a good old fashioned cliche: Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Yes, I know that we hear this phrase every year and see it on every church marquee, but here's the thing... it's true!
How often do we switch on our auto-pilot during the worship phase of church on Sundays? Sure, we're singing along and maybe even have our eyes closed, but our minds are often somewhere else. I find that the Christmas season is a lot like this. Sure, we know it's a celebration of the birth of Jesus and all, but we're so caught up with shopping, planning, traveling, wrapping, eating... that we switch on our auto-pilot and simply go through the motions.
Take a moment today to reflect on the miracle of Christ's birth and the incredible example of love, grace and mercy that marked His life.
In Jesus,

Colossians 1:13
