This time each year you will see pundits wax eloquently about the meaning of Christmas. Focusing on the angel’s words to the shepherds, they declare that the meaning of Christmas is the hope for peace on Earth. That would indeed be something to rejoice over. But as we look around, we see little evidence of peace on Earth. Our pundit friends often miss the real meaning of Christmas because they skip over the heart of the angel’s message.
The angel said: Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people, for unto to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord. And why should this be the subject of our rejoicing? Dr. D. James Kennedy explains in his message: Joy to the World.
