Many of us celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ (Christmas) without knowing the reason for His birth,this is very bad, it’s not just about the stories,Carol,food and others but the actualization and realization of the reasons for his birth, which will be discussed as you read on.
*RECONCILIATION
Since the first Adam disobeyed God,a wall of partition grew between God and man,Christ was birth to, so that He can break that wall(Ephesians 2:14).He is Jehovah Shalom.
*FULFILLMENT OF GOD'S PROPHECY AND PROMISE
Some Prophets of old in Israel(Isaiah 9,Jeremiah 23,Ezekiel 34:23) once prophesied about Christ's birth...so His birth is the fulfilment of prophecy. The promise was given to the Seed of Abraham ,that is Christ (Gal. 3:16), and since we have received the Gospel through faith ,we have the Spirit of God that makes us one of God's children, thereby co-heirs with Christ.(Gal.4:5-7).So you also have access to the promise as you are now a co-heir with Christ.
*REMISSION OF SIN
Christ came for the remission (cancellation) of sin not cleansing of sin,He came to destroy sin totally(Hebrew 9:36),Lest you forget that blood of animals were used for cleansing of sin by the priests in the old testament,since Christ came to remiss sin,there is no more need for offering...,He went into the holiest of holies and gave his own incorruptible blood for remission of the sins of the world, once and for all(Hebrews 10:18),if we can overcome sin,then we definitely will overcome death.
*RANSOM
Out of His unconditional love,He gave His life up as a ransom for us(Matt 20:28),He is our Messiah,Savior...

*CONQUER DEATH
Christ also came so that He could conquer death,to become the Firstborn of the dead,to defeat death so that we too through faith being sons and daughters of God will resurrect and also defeat death in the end,since we are co-heirs(Romans 8:17,1 Corinthians 15-55-57).
We can now see that the saying ''Christ is the reason for the season'' is no fallacy.All the a fore-mentioned and much more are the reasons why Christ was born and thank God He fulfilled his purpose -are you fulfilling yours?- ,do you even know the reason why you were born?, because if you do not know, there is no way you can fulfil purpose, will it be written about you that you fulfilled purpose?, I pray that we will all fulfil purpose in Jesus name, Amen.
