As Christmas Day is upon us and many of us feel the least Christmas-y(if that's even a word) that we've ever felt, we need to ask ourselves this: what is our true focus during this time? We can say that Christ is the focus of Christmas, but until we celebrate Him every day all year round, we will never know how to make a true celebration of a season to proclaim His birth. In a culture of lighthearted festivities and tales told from ages old, Zachariah and Hunter take the time to get down to the heart of Christmas and what truly motivates us as Christians and some of the details of Christmas that are misunderstood or even told incorrectly.

Christmas is not the season to remember Christ. Every season is the season to remember Christ because if it were not for God sending Him to die in our place, the Hope of the world would be nothing but another fairytale to lull the anxious cacophony of life until death takes us. But we rest in the fact that Christ did come, die, resurrect, ascend, and sits at the right hand of the Father in all glory, honor, judgment, and power. And because of that, we have more than a reason for the season; we have a reason to live a life above something just for ourselves. God bless.
Luke 1:26-38
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end." 34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" 35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail." 38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled." Then the angel left her.
