The Present

Every year during the Christmas season the message from pastors and churches is the same: Make this Christmas about Jesus. But, no matter how cute the cliche - think "Jesus is the reason for the season" or "Keep Christ in Christmas" - doing so proves difficult or unimportant to almost everyone. Between the cooking, decorating, shopping, and family gatherings, little time or energy is left for Jesus. Besides, what does it even mean to make Christmas about a baby that lived almost 2,000 years ago? In the story of the magi (also known as "three kings" or "wise men") we discover the true value of Christmas and find compelling reasons and tangible ways we can absolutely make this Christmas about Jesus.
