31 REASONS TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS – 2

Published on Dec 2, 2025

2. Jesus’ Unyielding Mission to Seek the Lost

Luke 9:9-10
And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

We celebrate Christmas because

We celebrate Jesus who came down from heaven to seek you and me, those who are lost
we can be reconciled with God the Father through Jesus Christ
Jesus came to invite us into a joyful relationship with Him so that we can face our tomorrow

Lord, grant me a repentant heart that joyfully and humbly receives you quickly. May all my celebrations this season direct those who are lost to you.
