By Christmas cheer is perhaps the peak of Christian calendar joys; and with good reason. It is impossible to miss. Joy is the attitude of Elizabeth’s greeting (Luke 1:55), Mary’s song (Luke 1:47), the angel’s declaration (Luke 2:10), and that of the wise men’s pursuit (Matthew 2:10). Rejoice, all saints, in
Christmas in Four Words
The Apostle John is certainly not known for brevity or conciseness. But in a single verse John captures for us the entire earthly life of Jesus, and the opening four words describe his birth. And the Word became fleshand dwelt among us,and we have seen his glory,glory as of the
Responses to Jesus’ Birth
Christmas is all about Jesus Christ, come to save sinners from the wrath of God (1 Thess 1:10 … and He’ll come again!). It is the various responses to the human birth of Jesus that reminds us to focus on Jesus Christ. Take some time this Christmas season to review
