Lonestar - Reason For The Season Lyrics

This is my absolute favorite Christmas song. ❤️🎄❤️

"Is Jesus The Reason For The Season?"

Since Christmas is recognized by most people as a religious Holy Day, it would be good for us to study its meaning. Considering Christmas has the word Christ in it, it should have some connection with the Lord. If there is a connection with the Lord, we should be able to turn to the New Testament and read of this observance. However, upon a careful examination, we fail to find a single reference to this day in the word of God.

Jesus is the reason for the season....You hear this from everyone at this time of year....But is Jesus really the reason for the season? Well, since everyone has believed for many many years that Jesus was born at this time of year, and since the birth of Jesus is celebrated in December..then obviously, everyone holds to that phrase..."Jesus is the reason for the season"

Actually, when Jesus was born, he was NOT born at this time of year, "hence the reason for the season" It comes as a shock to many individuals that the Bible does NOT tell us when Christ was born; but we are reasonably certain He was NOT born in December...

sheep and shepherds Nearly everyone remembers reading about the appearance of an angel to the shepherds. In Luke 2:8 we read, "Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night." This rules out the birth of Christ as a winter event.

"According to this statement, Jesus cannot have been born in December, in the middle of the rainy season, as has been since the fourth century supposed ... According to the Rabbins, the driving forth of the flocks took place in March, the bringing in of them in November..."

Don't you think we need to observe the birth of Christ? .... People often ask this question, "Why should we?" 2 Peter 1:3 tells us that God has given us "all things that pertain to life and godliness." Everything I need to know of a religious nature has been revealed in the Bible. 1 Peter 4:11 says that if I speak, I must speak "as the oracles of God." If God would have wanted us to observe the birth of Christ, he most assuredly would have told us! But clearly there is nowhere in the Bible that instructs us to celebrate the birth of Christ, in December or anytime of the year.

How should we remember Jesus? God has left three memorials to Christ -- all of which point to His death burial and resurrection.

First, water baptism reminds us of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus (Romans 6:3-4).

Second, the Lord's supper is a constant reminder of His death. As we partake of the unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine, we "proclaim the Lord's death till He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26).

Third, our worship on the Lord's day, the first day of the week, reminds us of His resurrection (Matthew 28:1; Acts 20:7; Revelation 1:10).
God does not want His Son remembered as a baby lying in a manger, but as the suffering Saviour and now resurrected Redeemer.
