Do you know the Good News of great joy to all people? Are you rejoicing in Christ’s birth or in something else? It is the right time to verify the focus of the season’s celebrations.
Pastor and writer Glen Scrivener knows that Christmas can bring out the best and worst in people. Through this video, he tries to explain the types of Christmas people are drawn to and how far we are from the “true Christmas,” encouraging us to align ourselves with the Truth.
The first type is the Scrooge, the person who sees nothing but darkness and foolishness.
The second is the shopper, who is focused on gifts alone and ends up in debt for all the wrong reasons.
The third type is the most popular superficial figure, Santa Claus. This is the person who is caught up in the season of parties, ugly sweaters, and the expectation that things and events will make them merry.
But the last and best Christmas is the fourth one, as it shows the real essence of Christmas in all its reality. It brings forth powerful images of our Savior, a King Child born to die for our sins and redeem us from the clutches of hell.
Turn your focus to the manger, the manger with the Child alone, and carry Him into your heart, placing Him at the center of your celebrations.
Thank you, Pastor, for sharing such a meaningful insight. God bless you and your ministry abundantly!
