The Reason for the Season

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Well-meaning people say, "Christmas isn't about gifts, it's about Jesus." Now, that's a contradictory statement. Christmas is about Jesus, true...but He IS the greatest gift ever!
It's about the One called Wonderful--the source of our joy and happiness.
It's about the One called Counsellor--the source of all wisdom and understanding.
It's about the One called the Mighty God--the source of our strength and power.
It's about the One called the Everlasting Father--the source of our existence and life, physical and eternal.
It's about the One called the Prince of Peace--the source all peace and comfort.
So the next time you say, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" remember that He is...but not just because the nice little story of Him coming as a baby. He's the reason for the season because He is Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, and Savior!
