It is certainly easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of Christmastime; presents, "stocking stuffers," treats, and no shortage of ridiculous advertisements. We see images of Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman everywhere we look, so we do not want this to cause us to forget what Christmas is truly about.
Rather than talking about this subject, I will instead list some good verses to remind us of the true "Reason for the season" and God's great gift to all mankind...
"And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people." - Luke 2:10
"She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." - Matthew 1:21
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
- John 3:16
So as we open our stockings and wrapped presents, it will be a great idea to find some things to focus on Christ. Our family will read the Bible passage and this year we will hopefully watch the film The Nativity Story. So instead of watching Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (which are both good films, don't get me wrong!), are there any Bible-related films to find for Christmas?
Merry CHRISTmas!
