“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
Matthew 2:2
The very word “Christmas” has been emptied of its meaning, drug through the gutter, and given back to us, minus its power. Some prefer to use the more politically correct terminology at this time of year, like “Happy Holidays,” with no idea whatsoever of what Christmas really means.
Most Christmas is filled with hype and endless activity leading to exhaustion, the version that gives little to any thought of Christ. I believe in Christmas. I believe in the real message of Christmas, which is the birth of our Lord.
The primary message of Christmas is this: God is with us Isaiah 7:14 tells us, “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” Immanuel means, “God is with us.”
So the message of the season is not, “Let it snow” or even, “Let us shop.” The real message of Christmas is, “Let us worship.” That is what the wise men came to do. And that is what we should be doing as well.
Wishing you a “MERRY CHRISTMAS”
Bro. Richard and Marcia
