What to Do About Christmas - Pastor Sven Frantzen 2023-07-29 Theme Text: Luke 2:13–14 Christmas has been a problem for Christians for many centuries. We want to celebrate the birth of our Savior, yet this celebration has been placed on a pagan holiday. Clearly, Jesus was not born in December. When was He really born - can we know? And, what should we do during the December Christmas season? Listen to the Word of God and make up your own mind with God's guidance. #Christmas #Birthday #ChristmasInJuly #Celebrate #Holiday #Observance #December #Birth

At Christmas, there's always that one family member who takes forever to open their gifts. They delicately untie each ribbon. They strategically pull off each piece of tape. Then they carefully unfold the wrapping paper. Everyone else is thinking (or saying), "Open it already!" This week, we learn about Simeon, a man who knew how to wait. Simeon waited on God's greater promise of the coming Messiah, but also a specific promise to him; that he would see the Christ before he saw death.

Jesus has his own schedule in everything. He is good and kind and trustworthy and faithful. And He does whatever He pleases. He really does care for us, even in the seemingly small things. We may bring our request to Him at any time. Mary's final words are continually apropos, 'Whatever He says to you, do it!'. They are wise who abide in His Word. Jesus assures Nicodemus that the prophecies of Ezekiel are true and that God will give new Birth, a Birth that is from above, a Birth through His Spirit. A supernatural birth. Jesus is ready and able to rescue any who come to Him... alas, too many abide in condemnation, in wrath, for they love darkness and will not come into the light. Dear friend, if you haven't yet, please come into the light that you might have everlasting life in Him, life in He who is True Light. He has so loved the world.
