Yet, another reason for the season of Christmas is keeping company with Jesus. Though it’s a season to commemorate and honor the birth of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ; however, it’s also a period to keep company with Him. It’s a time of holiday, many people stay off the usual bustling and hassling of life. It’s a time we sit and think deeply over our lives. It’s a time of genuine personal spiritual discovery and recovery. And today, Jesus is calling unto us, and He’s saying,
Key Scripture
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.Matt 11:28-30 MSG
