DECEMBER 23 “And being found in the form of a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross.” — Philippians 2:8

Don’t Miss the True Message of Christmas

A strategic way to oppose Christmas is by distorting its meaning. Tragically, this has been done very successfully by millions of Americans who would never think of denying the facts of Christmas, and yet, they haven’t the foggiest idea of what Christmas is really all about. There is the method of commercialization. They keep their eyes on Santa Claus and they never see the cross that stands in the shadows behind a manger. And if not... More

DECEMBER 22 “But He emptied Himself, taking upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.” — Philippians 2:7

A Small Sampling of Jesus’ Impact

As Christmas approaches, it is interesting to reflect on the impact of Jesus. Consider a sampling: Suppose we would gather a group of literary men together and ask them what is the greatest masterpiece of literature ever written by man, and many will tell, perhaps the majority, the greatest work ever penned by merely human hands was Paradise Lost , written by John Milton—a believer of what some would call “the delusion of the...

DECEMBER 21 “…who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.” — Philippians 2:6

What We Celebrate at Christmas

Jesus Christ was not merely a man, and Christmas doesn’t celebrate the birth of a man. Christmas is a celebration of the birth of the God-man. This is not some apotheosis like that of the Caesars in which a man was elevated to “God” status. This is the great condescension of the Trinity when almighty God deigned to become one of us and to be born among men. This fact, however, of the supernatural origin and essence of... More

DECEMBER 20 “…and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” — Philippians 2:11

The Real Hope of the World

Times do change don’t they? 100 years ago the voices of the apostles of human perfectibility were heard throughout the land, loud and clear. Millions of Americans got up in the morning and stood before their windows and recited ten times, “Every day, in every way, we’re getting better, and better, and better.” And so, this philosophy was rampant in America. But times do change, don’t they? It was about the same... More

DECEMBER 19 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, although you are small among the tribes of Judah, from you will come forth for Me one who will be ruler over Israel. His origins are from of old, from ancient days.” — Micah 5:2

Born in Bethlehem, As Foretold 700 Years Earlier

Before Jesus was born, there were hundreds of texts found in the Old Testament describing His birth and life and ministry and passion and death and resurrection. There is nothing vaguely like this anywhere else in the world. We find many of these prophecies in Isaiah; so much so, that some have called it the Gospel of Isaiah. And yet it was written seven hundred and some years before Jesus Christ was born. Absolutely phenomenal! This is... More

DECEMBER 18 “He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’” — Matthew 16:15

Missing Christ at Christmas

A Christless Christmas is what many will have again this year. Perhaps the first person listed, at least indirectly, who had a Christless Christmas would be the innkeeper. The Bible says there was no room for Mary and Joseph at the inn. The innkeeper probably said, “Oh, folks, I am so sorry. I can see you are in a bad way, but this is enrollment time. Caesar has issued an edict, and we are just jam-packed. That is true of every hostel... More

DECEMBER 17 “Jesus replied, ‘The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.’” — Matthew 8:20

The Homeless Savior

There are two very touching texts found in the Bible that are touching only when they are touched together. Most people never see the connection because they are separated by a chapter heading. These are John 8:1 and John 7:53. In 8:1 we are told that Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives, and in 7:53 we read, “Then everyone went to his own house.” Jesus had been teaching the multitude, and when evening came they all went to...
