Don't Underestimate My Jesus
Last night, while I was trying to fall asleep, the same line form a song kept on playing over and over again in my head. Don’t underestimate my Jesus. I could not remember the rest of word or even who sang the song, but it got me thinking about Christ and Christmas and how as a society we have drifted form putting the two together. Even normally strong Christians are guilty of this. This year, for instance, I have been worrying about how I am going to buy gifts for everyone love with the little money I have, but yet I don’t think I have prayed about this once. Not once had it been something that I handed up to God.
Our society has become so materialist that we have changed the meaning of Christmas to something that it was never meant to be. Christmas was never about giving or receiving but about the birth of a savior. A savior God sent to us for the sole purpose of dying for our sins. I am not saying that we should not give gifts at Christmas, as a matter of fact the first gift giving is happened in the Bible when the Wise Men gave Jesus myrrh, incense, and gold. The gifts we give need to be in celebration of Christ, but we often forget this.
It makes me so sad that we have left our religious roots. I bet that today Jesus did not even cross the mind of most people, and if he did they are probably afraid to admit it. Why is it so hard for our society to remember Christ? He lived for us, just so he could die for us. He comforts us when we’re sad and rejoices when we’re happy. He hears our every thought and knows our every pain. He sees our dreams and helps make them come true. I love him for being everything I know him to be and so much more. Some of you may not like me for saying this, but I feel that it needs to be said. So do what you have to, stop talking to me, delete me as your friend, hate me if you want, but don’t underestimate my JESUS.
