The Purpose of Christmas
By Rev. Dean Beaty 12/16/09
Luke 2:11-12 “For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”(KJV)
What is the purpose of Christmas today?
Is it the thrill of the big give-away?
A child's wide eyes is always a joy.
For sis a new doll, a train for the boy.
Is that the purpose that we celebrate?
Is that all there is for this winter date?
Where does Christ figure in your Christmas time?
That He's overlooked, to me is a crime.
This is the time to reflect on God's Son.
Our gift from the Father which can't be outdone.
No greater gift could God ever give;
Than His only Son just so we might live.
God's gift has been offered, now its up to you.
Have you received Him and been born anew?
But not only Christ is the gift of God's love;
There's a home evermore in heaven above.
This Christmas could be the greatest of all,
If you would but heed the dear Savior's call.
Ask His forgiveness for all of your sin.
Believe in His promise that He will come in.*
* Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in
to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”(KJV)
John 6:37 “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (KJV)
