The Reason for the Season

As the 1st-time parents, we tried our best to make Noah's 1st birthday as memorable as possible--buying gifts, ordering cake, making bookmarks... We surely had a wonderful time!

How about Jesus' birthday? When I was busy shopping for Christmas gifts, did I also think of what to give for Jesus' birthday? Then a verse came to my mind, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship." (Rom 12:1)

Jesus--the reason for the season!

初為父母的我們盡力地能讓嘉信的一歲生日值得留念--買禮物, 訂蛋糕, 作書籤... 我們慶祝的真快樂!

至於耶穌的生日呢? 當我忙著買聖誕禮物, 是否也有想到給耶穌什麼作為生日禮物? 我想到一節經文: "所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的；你們如此事奉乃是理所當然的。" (羅馬書12:1)

耶穌--是聖誕佳節的中心!
