The Power of Christmas
The power of Christmas (the birth of Jesus) is not in birth itself.
The birth of Jesus was not the beginning of his life but rather a change in form.
He was before Bethlehem and time itself.
Thus the power of Christmas is that the Son of God would visit humanity.
And through this visitation he brought to us three things.
I. His Light
A. Reveals our standing before God.
B. Removes the darkness of sin.
II.
His Love
A. Sacrificed himself
B. Sustains us
III.
His Liberating Power.
A. Provides a life of Fulness
Weakness is Asthenia in Greek and is the same word translated as weakness and infirmities.
To often we live defeated Christina lives because we are trying to live for ourselves and by ourselves and the whole time God is looking and saying, If you will embrace your weakness and surrender to me, I can be strong in your weakness.
B. Produces a life of His Likeness
We find strength when our life reflects his light.
We are so consumed with reflecting our own light that we have neglected letting his light shine through us.
Thats why our light is dim.
But, if we will let his light shine then the light will be bright enough to pierce the darkness of this world.
Our goal should not be to bring glory to ourselves but rather glory to God.
