What's it all about?

Jesus is the reason for the season. We’ve all heard that expression. Most of us have seen nativity display of Baby Jesus, even “A Charlie Brown Christmas” has the character of Linus reciting scripture, pointing to Jesus, while stating,” that’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

 

 

But when we’re challenged by stress: emotional, familial, eating disorder and spiritual, just to name a few, it’s difficult to keep that Jesus reason as the center of the whole thing. Maybe we even think we’ll get around to truly celebrating Him when this or that is better/perfect. We can find ourselves waiting a lon-n-n-ng time, can’t we?

But isn’t that the best time, the best reason for Jesus? When we’re less than perfect, less than pulled together, less than healthy or serene? After all…

“On hearing this, Jesus said, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.’”

Matthew 9:12 ;

“On hearing this, Jesus said to them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.’"

Mark 2:17 ;

“Jesus answered them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.’”

Luke 5:31

So, whatever state of hot mess you may find yourself, don’t beat yourself up about it. Instead, remember, go to and apply Jesus, “the reason for the season.” Jesus. That’s what it’s all about. You’ll be okay. Call the Doctor!
