Unto us a child is born, He is the reason for the season

18 days to go before Christmas... I can really feel the spirit of Christmas. Christmas song are being played. A lot of people are buying gifts for their special someone. Divisoria, a popular place where people go to buy low priced gift is so crowded especially during weekend. There are also street children who sing Christmas carols.... Christmas is really near. Christmas as one of the song says the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas is my favorite season of the year because during Christmas I can feel that the atmosphere is so light, people are happy and they always wear a smile. But do you know how important Christmas is? Do you know the real reason why we are celebrating Christmas? We're not celebrating Christmas because of gifts nor it is about Santa Claus.

More than 2000 years ago a baby was born in a manger in Bethlehem. That baby is Jesus. Because of Jesus' birth, a hope is born to all mankind. Jesus' birth was prophesied by the prophets in the old testament book. Jesus is the Messiah that the prophets were prophesying.

Jesus' birth brings salvation to those people who accept Him and acknowledge Him as their one and personal savior. Jesus is the reason for this season. Jesus is the reason why We are celebrating Christmas. Merry Christmas to all.
