What can we do to ensure that we do not distort, dilute, or diminish the truths surrounding Christ’s birth? The simplest answer is to meditate upon the scriptural accounts of Christ’s birth–examine every detail so we can insulate our hearts from the world’s efforts to silence the gospel as well as our own tendencies to forget the reason for the season. This small reflection is a collection of fifteen years of preaching with the singular message of not losing sight of the real meaning of the birth of Christ. The Birth of Christ is applicable both during the Christmas season and throughout the year for every Christian to refocus upon Christ–the reason for the season.
