This will be our topic during the Christmas Season.
I love "Navidad!" I don't think any culture celebrates Christmas like the Puerto Rican culture. In fact, I think that Puerto Rico could change its name to "Belen" or Bethlehem, for the way that the Christmas season is embraced and celebrated.
There are lots of Christmas Traditions: special family gatherings, unique family customs, and of course meals and drinks that are reserved for this time of the year only.
Traditions are effective, for they help remind and reinforce any essentials that we seek to celebrate. Which, poses the question: what are the essentials that Jesus wants to celebrate and remember? What traditions can we practice that will reveal him?
We will focus on these three:
- A Tradition of Redemption
- A Tradition of Preparation
- A Tradition of Celebration
Should the traditions and celebrations of the first coming of Jesus prepare us for his second coming?
