HIDDEN CHRISTMAS

Christmas is our culture’s most widely-celebrated holiday. Even many irreligious people can recite the bare details: a baby, a manger, the claim that God became a man and visited earth. Despite the Christian references in our culture, few people really examine Christmas or understand its implications. When you do, you’re forced to make a decision that begins with the incarnation. Either Jesus is God or he isn’t. If true, Christmas is much more than nostalgia. Christmas is about hope and salvation. About experiencing the “redeeming power of God’s grace in a deeper and more meaningful way.”[1] Christmas confronts us with a claim you can ignore as outlandish, or accept as truth. Accept it and you must completely reorient your life around Jesus Christ. There is no middle ground.
