The Patriot Post® · The Reason for the Season

Yes, Christmas time is coming
As it does every year
But yet, it seems its meaning
Is not so crystal-clear
As was in the beginning
So very long ago
When Christ was born a baby
More pure than Christmas snow.

Some think the Christmas season
Is just for girls and boys
Or giving/getting presents
And Santa Claus with toys;
It seems some have forgotten
That Jesus is the One
That Christmas has been named for –
God’s only, precious Son.

The reason for the season
Is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
Not Santa Claus or presents
Or gifts we can’t afford;
The reason for the season
Is Christ, the child born
So long ago to save us –
Not toys on Christmas morn.

The reason for the season?
God cared enough to give
His Son for our salvation
That we might with Him live;
The reason for the season
No matter where we roam –
God claims us all His children
And wants to bring us Home.

The season has a reason –
To thank God for His love;
To offer our repentance
And pray to God above
We not forget the reason
Christ came to earth for all –
To be our one Redeemer
And save us from our “Fall”.
