Christmas Is Jesus

Produced by Church Fuel

Christmas is more than seasonal festivities; Christmas is about Jesus. This video demonstrates how we often forget the true meaning of Christmas and get distracted by the lights, presents, and commercialization of Christmas, as well as by really good things, such as family, community, and giving to others. We need to maintain our focus on the true reason for the season: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
