Christmas (197)
  1. Christmas is not only about a cradle in Bethlehem, it’s also about a cross outside Jerusalem where salvation was won for us.
  2. Christmas is not for remembering, thinking, pondering, trying to make sure you are really celebrating it properly, or for wondering whether you truly have faith.
  3. Merry Christmas, Christ has spoken, and his verdict stands.
  4. The anticipation of Advent is supposed to build us up, not make us exhausted.
  5. Lewis once pointed out that Christianity does not begin by telling us how to behave, but by telling us what is wrong.
  6. Christianity doesn’t start with our speculation about God. It starts with God’s self-revelation.
  7. This story points us from our unlikely heroes to the even more unlikely, and joyous, good news that Jesus’ birth for us was just as unlikely and unexpected.
  8. Be relieved, whatever has had you anxious. He is with us and about his Father’s business, which is your salvation.
  9. The “Chalking of the Door” is a way to celebrate and literally mark the occasion of the Epiphany and God’s blessing of our lives and home.
  10. In Simeon's hands and Anna's gaze, we are reminded of God's promise—not distant, not fading, but alive.
  11. The narrative of the Nativity is what Christmas is all about.
  12. The name of Jesus holds us fast.
