Christmas (193)
  1. Christianity doesn’t start with our speculation about God. It starts with God’s self-revelation.
  2. This story points us from our unlikely heroes to the even more unlikely, and joyous, good news that Jesus’ birth for us was just as unlikely and unexpected.
  3. Be relieved, whatever has had you anxious. He is with us and about his Father’s business, which is your salvation.
  4. The “Chalking of the Door” is a way to celebrate and literally mark the occasion of the Epiphany and God’s blessing of our lives and home.
  5. In Simeon's hands and Anna's gaze, we are reminded of God's promise—not distant, not fading, but alive.
  6. The narrative of the Nativity is what Christmas is all about.
  7. The name of Jesus holds us fast.
  8. It is impossible to live our lives in a way that would convince God of our value because he already knows our value. He is the one who gave it to us.
  9. Belief at Christmas is neither neat nor safe. It is the path that leads to the manger and, from there, to the cross.
  10. Are you looking for rest? Is your heart cluttered? Are you searching for comfort? Just look at the King-sized bed.
  11. The Great King comes for us.
  12. While Christmas may or may not have pagan roots, it will certainly have a pagan future if Christians lose sight of what it is all about.
