The Christ in Christmas

Right now I am in the middle of preaching a series entitled, "The Christ in Christmas." I have heard or read that we need to put Christ back in Christmas, however, the only problem is that He never left. Christ is the reason we celebrate Christmas and His virgin birth. As we gather around the Christmas tree this year, let us remember the greatest tree ever decorated. It is not the tree in your living room, it is the tree that Christ the Lord hung on. 1 Peter 2:24 says that He hung on the tree for us. The cross of Jesus Christ truly is the greatest tree ever decorated, and His blood that made it possible for redemption decorated that tree. Hebrews 9:22 says that, "Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins." More to come in this series soon, but let us begin with a biblical view of every aspect during this Christmas season.
