We are now into the Christmas season. A time for Christmas music, shopping, protests against stores that say "holiday" instead of Christmas, parties, church Christmas programs. It seems like it's the same thing over and over again. Every year going through the same things. Now don't get me wrong, I love all those things except the protests. But the name Christmas seems to have lost its "luster." It's been fought over and commercialized so much that the name isn't carrying the meaning that the Christian world has come to love. Christ-mas! Christ is Christmas.
Let's quit protesting and getting caught up in all the material things and get back to Christ-mas. If you are a born again Christian (there is no other kind), don't forget where that name came from - CHRIST! This year, light up your house for Christ. The lights and decorations are for Him.
We at CrossPoint have four very large trees in our front yard. We have decorated (still two to go) each tree a different color. The first is in white lights to signify Christ as the light of the world. The second has green lights to represent Him coming to earth. The third, red lights to show the great price, His blood, to paid for our sins. And the fourth, blue, to represent the place He promised that we would go if we accepted Him as our Savior - Heaven!
May this Christmas season change the way you view this wonderful time of year.
Much love during this Holy time of year,
Pastor Gary
