Here's Rev. Donald Sensing on the true meaning of Christmas.
When our Christmas season is over and we have returned to our usual routines, let us remember that the gospel we have and the salvation we are given is just that which we have been told. The grace of God is not mysterious or incomprehensible. It is just as we have been told in God’s Word:Posted by Alan at December 24, 2005 08:13 PMA savior was born in Bethlehem two thousand years ago.
Like the shepherds, we live in a world when the memory of Christmas will be overcome by other events. The shepherds’ sheep would still get sick or be attacked by wolves. Our cars will still break down and we’ll still have bills to pay. On the outside, everything will seem the same. But now our lives are different. God is with us!
The glory of the Lord has shone around us, and through our doubts and fears there are heavenly words: Fear not, for behold, there are glad tidings of great joy. Unto you is born a Savior!
