Christmas, the Holy Day of the Holidays
Christmas, the Holy Day of the Holidays
As we enter into Christmastime, I ask you to consider this: The word “holiday” comes from the term “holy day.” We have always recognized that there are certain transcendent things that call for us to set aside days to honor them.
But sometimes even Christians can lose sight of the full nature of what happened at Christmas. The secular world competes to convince us that joy and love at Christmas are brought to fruition by just the right gift, or reuniting with loved ones, or the perfect feast on the table.
While none of these are bad, let's remember that at Christmas we are celebrating the fact that Jesus took onto himself a fully human nature. He was born of a woman and set in a manger, not to whisk us away from here, but to reclaim, restore, and glorify His creation for us to dwell with Him eternally.
Let the CHRIST of Christmas wash you clean from sin in HIS shed blood of Calvary.
