Today is Christmas. I believe it is error to focus on the birth of Christ. He is no longer a babe in a manger. He is the glorified Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He is seated at the right hand of God the Father. You cannot look at Christmas without seeing the shadow of the cross of Calvary. On this day, don't focus on the birth, instead focus on the Gospel message: Christ crucified, Christ buried, Christ's resurrection, Christ ascension, and Christ coming again. That is the Gospel. 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 reads: "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures...." As you take time to celebrate today, remember the Gospel message. That is the true Christmas message.
