Christ Has Come

The true season of Christmas.

35
Christ Has Come
Bob Rogers

I believe that we all know what Christmas is suppose to mean, but we often forget about the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas is about Jesus being born! This time of year is when we worship and celebrate Jesus' birthday and when he was born in a manger when there was no room for Him in the inn. It is also about Christ bringing new life to the world! If it was not for Him, we would not have the option of accepting eternal life through Him!

This year, I have realized that Christmas is not just a holiday, it is a special time to worship Christ and for what all He has done for us in our lives! It is not just about the nativity part with Christ. It is about how Christ has come into the world to bring us joy, peace, patience, and kindness!

This season may be filled with presents, more food than usual, and other special activities that only happens during this time of the year, but it should also be filled with worship more than anything else that we do this holiday season! We should worship the Christ, the baby that was born for us to save the world, all of the time! Not just during Christmas time specifically.

I hope you realize the true meaning of Christmas and enjoy the presence of our Savior during Christmas! You may not get all the presents or a specific present, but you do not have to worry about that! Salvation is a priceless gift that we could never repay or ask for, but yet, He gives salvation to us! Salvation should be the best gift we should ever receive or ask for any time of the year!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
