Why do you celebrate Christmas?
Do you know the implication of this day?
The devil uses many cunning ways to distract us from the most important focus that we all should have in our lives.
Sometimes it's temptations, but more often, he uses many "good" things to trade with us the "best" thing in our lives.
"Let's use X in place of Christ," says Satan, "it's ok, people will still know it's a day for Christ when you say Xmas."
(Would you throw a party on, say, my birthday, without even the slightest idea of who I am?)
"Let's celebrate with lots of gifts and an old fat man in a red suit and his reindeers and elves and all get warm and fuzzy in the cold weather," says the prince of hell, "it's ok, people will still remember that Christ is the main focus on this special day of celebration."
(Would you be giving each other gifts at my birthday party, playing with the hired entertainers, but totally ignore my presence?)
This Christmas, I invite you to not only have the most fun in your life, but also take some precious minutes in your life to get to know more about the birthday boy. Afterall, you don't celebrate Buddist's birthday the same way, do you?
