Celebrating an Uncommon Child

December 24, 2010
Maybe we can make this Christmas the best we've ever had. But the best Christmas ever was 2,000 years ago when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, burst through history and entered into an existence of mankind in that little stable in Bethelem.

Just before His crucifixion Jesus told His disciples that they would soon "realize that I am in the Father, and you are in me, and I am in you." (Jn. 14:20) Modern disciples must embrace the mystery of the mutual indwelling of which He spoke.

David the Psalmist described the experience of knowing "God with us," saying, "I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and staff they comfort me." In understanding and believing this, the heart's true comfort is found.

Moses asked if he could see God's glory, but he was told nobody can see God and survive. But God wants to be known, so He came "veiled in flesh" so that we could come to know Him and not be burned up by the experience.

The angel announcing the birth of Christ explained that he would be known both as "Immanuel - God with us" and also "Jesus - because he will save his people from their sins." Enjoying Christmas involves grasping what this means.

One of the ironies of the Christmas season is that Jesus came to bring rest and to have us rest in Him, and yet, the season of His birth is probably the least restful of the year. We get so busy that "duty" distracts us from "deity." Pete teaches how to break out of the cycle and refocus on our relationship with Him.

How can we get ready for Christ to come this Christmas and not allow Christmas to come without Him? It's not easy to keep Christ in the spotlight when we are so busy preparing for the happenings of the season. But we can, and must, focus on what He did for us as we celebrate His birth this Christmas.

Some people are so excited about finding the perfect Christmas gift, they drop hints about what it is. They can't help it! They're just bursting with anticipation. Scripture says God loves giving extravagantly to us, too. He carefully planned His greatest gift to you and me, but it would be thousands of years before He would actually give it to us. Between the Fall and Christmas morning, do you know what He did?  He dropped hints about his magnificent gift over and over in the Old Testament! This is the 2nd message in Pete's 2-message series "The Heart of Christmas."

Have you ever asked yourself why it was so important to God that Jesus was born in Bethlehem? The Old Testament foretold that the Messiah would be born there, and yet, Bethlehem was a tiny, rather insignificant town to most people. What was so special about Bethlehem? Pete answers this question by sharing another beautiful story of redemption that took place in Bethlehem long before Jesus came to earth. This is the 1st message in Pete's 2-message series "The Heart of Christmas."

John's gospel was written so that the readers "may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing (they) may have life through his name." What this believing entails and what this life involves are the subjects of our inquiry.
