Christ the Gift of Liberty #3 of 4
December 22, 2010
Real freedom is not doing whatever you want, whenever you want. Rather, it’s doing the will of God. That’s freedom without regrets. To run life’s race, we need to know where we’re going, and Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Freedom starts with truth, and truth is embodied in Jesus Christ. At Christmas we remember that Truth was born into the world, and that Truth can set us free.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

When Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free,” He made possible the ultimate kind of freedom. All real freedom has its roots in truth, and Christ said “I am the truth.” For all among us trapped in addictions and oppression, Christ’s gift of liberty is ours to take. Today: a look at truth: the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Please stay with us.

At Christmas, we recall the light shining over Bethlehem, and the birth of the One who brings light into our lives. The prophet Isaiah wrote “arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” He looked forward to the coming of Jesus, and we can now look back to that wondrous day when He was born into this world. Today, more about Christ dispelling darkness.

The skies over Bethlehem had never before radiated this much glory. Massed angels brought the light of the noonday sun. As shepherds cowered in fear, the angels announced the light of the world. These days, darkness is everywhere, and that darkness seems to be increasing. Today, we’ll see why Christ is God’s great Christmas gift of light to those stumbling in darkness.

Parents love their children. Pastors love their congregations. But God loved all mankind enough to send a great gift. As we run the last mile of the Christmas race, let’s not forget the gift of God’s Son, without Whom there would be no Christmas. That gift was the ultimate expression of love: the best God could offer to an undeserving human race. Today: more about this gift of love.

We expend a lot of energy buying Christmas presents...with traffic and parking hassles, and braving those big shopping crowds, all for the joy of seeing a loved one open a gift. God wants us to open His gift of love just as badly as we want our kids to open theirs. That gift was offered first as a baby, but ultimately on a cross, that we might be reconciled to the Father. Please stay with us.

If you’re a Christian, do you share your faith? We who have eternal life often forget the emptiness in those who don’t. Christmas is the ideal time to slow down life’s race long enough to share Christ with needy friends. Just as Jesus was born into the world, He wants to be born into the hearts of all who will receive Him. Today: you’ll hear more about Christ the Gift of Life.

Will the real Jesus please stand up? Many people are confused at Christmas as to who Jesus really was, and really is. The real Jesus gives eternal life, and only a spiritual connection with Him can impart that life to us. People search for meaning in all kinds of places, and many of them lead to dead ends. Today: more about the gift of life, the life only possible through the one who said, “I am the life.”

Christmas fits right in with a “gimme” lifestyle: you know, “gimme this, gimme that.” Kids like lights, but they love gifts. Fortunately, God is a gift-giver. As James says, He “gives to all liberally and without reproach.” This Christmas, we’ll find that in sending His Son to earth, God gave us four great gifts. Today: we’ll learn about gift number one. Please stay with us.
