Meaning
Merry Christmas, everyone. As we get together for celebration and festivities, it's important to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Western culture has had a heavy influence on our straying from the true meaning with the image of Christmas being Santa Claus, gift giving being the focal point of the day, and being merry amongst family and friends. Christmas is a time to humble ourselves and reflect on the greatest gift humanity has received, Jesus Christ. As we look to Luke 2: 1-14 we can see that even kings, who at the time thought of themselves as gods amongst men, stopped to acknowledge the true king the King of all Kings our Lord and Savior. What's really interesting is how Jesus was brought into this world. As God I would think the best place, a palace of the highest comfort, but instead our humble Lord brings himself to us in a barn. Our God is a humble God and we must remember to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
- Do you feel that the more inclusive to all Christmas becomes the more of its meaning is lost? Why or why not?
- Who is the king of Christmas in your life? What part of the holiday do you focus the most on?
