I challenged our student’s to see the reality of Christ’s birth last night.
Isaiah 9:6 says, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Christmas is not about celebrating a birthday. It is about the great God and Creator impacting the condition and history of the world.
Candles on a cake and a sweet song don’t come close to touching the reality of Salvation.
We can claim that our Christmas celebration is about Jesus, but the reality of the celebration speaks to something totally different.
Jesus’ birth was an announcement that we are loved. We have the opportunity to know our Creator, to live with peace and joy in our hearts, and to be free from sin that destroys us.
That is much, much bigger than me wanting a new pair of expensive shoes.
