Christ in Christmas
The Lord Jesus Christ came to his own and his own received him not...
How tragic this statement is...
His Creation -
His created
His creature’s - rejected him...
His Chosen people
His Nation - Israel
His very household - received him not
His Temple
His Teaching
His teachers… received him not....
Christmas - the celebration of His coming to earth - but the celebration is not about him - for the most part....
The world celebrates a birthday party that represents the Savior, but doesn’t pay tribute to the baby / the person of honor...
2731 Baby’s Birthday Without Baby
The story is told of two women who were enjoying an elaborate luncheon in a downtown restaurant.
When asked the occasion for the luncheon, one said, “We are celebrating the baby’s birthday.”
“But where is the baby?” said the inquirer, for there was no child to be seen.
“Oh,” said the mother, “you didn’t think I’d bring him.
Did you?
Why he doesn’t know anything about it.”
Many of us celebrate the Birthday of our Saviour and forget to invite Him!
In our rush of observing Christmas with giving, eating, etc., do we really stop to meditate upon the Christ Child who should be the center of it all?
—Pulpit Helps
The very term Christmas is one that Christ is first in.... yet is celebrated least, or not at all....

This is how the world celebrates Christmas - Celebrating the baby’s birthday.... but not bringing the baby...
Christ in Christmas
Do not allow Christmas to become a paradox in your home -
He came unto his own, and his own received him not....
I can understand why a lost and dying world that is in darkness could miss out on the Christ of Christmas - but do not allow that to be the case of those who are “his own”
1.
Put Christ First in Christmas
focus on the Savior....
Don’t disregard your devotions on Christmas
read your bible
pray
meditate on the Lord himself and all that his coming represents to you.
2. Tell others about the Christ of Christmas
share the good news
Jesus came
Jesus was born
Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected for us...
Give a gospel tract
Give a word of testimony
Give a good word for the Savior during the Christmas Season
3. Emphasize Christ in your home at Christmas
Read the Christmas account -
We have read the Christmas story after Breakfast and before gifts every Christmas since I was saved - 35 years now - But the Christmas story and a time of prayer thanking God for loving us so much that He sent us His Son...
b.
Give a gift to Christ for Christmas
As a gift for Christ - give a gift to someone anonymously - someone who is in need
Have your children shop for someone their age and have them wrap them up and as a family anonymously give to someone else whose Christmas could be brightened
4. Don’t Allow Gifts and Presents to become the focus in your family
He came unto his own....and his own received him not..
Receive Him...
Salvation....
Savior...
Sanctification....
Service....
Life is about Him...
