Taking Christmas Back
This Christmas we want love, joy, hope and peace.
We have asked ourselves if this is even possible.
The commercials are showing a day filled with peace and love.
The news tells us a different story.
People are broken and this Holiday time is one of the most difficult times of the year.
It is a time that reminds us of how broken we truly are.
How do we take Christmas Back?
Last week, we looked at the brokenness of Joseph and his family.
We learned that Christ brings the broken pieces back together.
When all the pieces are back together, the light of Jesus is allowed to shine through the cracks.
This week I want to take a look at some people’s who’s lives were broken and Jesus met them where they are and began to put life back together.
As we look at these examples, my hope is that we will continue to fall in love with The Lord Jesus.
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
This woman’s story is full of brokenness.
The brokenness shines it’s light in
John 4:16-
Can you imagine the brokenness that existed in this woman’s life?
Imagine the pain she had experienced.
Think about if this woman was to celebrate a modern day Christmas with this brokenness in her life.
Jesus
John 4:3-
So much wrong here culturally.
The woman draws this out and says you are a Jew and you are speaking to me a Samaritan.
I just love Jesus!
I love that he rescues those society thought were unworthy.
He crosse cultural bounds to rescue this woman in brokenness.
Luke 8:40-
Think about this woman and the pain she was facing.
She was in pain for 12 years.
She had spent all she had on the doctors yet they could not heal her.
She approaches Jesus from behind and touches the tassel of his robe.
Instantly her bleeding stops.
This woman comes trembling because she knew she had been discovered and falls down before Jesus.
Jesus’s response
Daughter your faith has made you well
Go in Peace
The Synagogue Leaders daugher
Mary
Luke 1:26-
Shepherds
Luke 2:8-
Taking Christmas back ends with you and begins with Jesus.
This is such a small sampling of who Jesus is.
In this sampling, I just love Jesus.
Jesus goes against culture and meets this broken Samaritan woman at the well.
He heals her and sends her away.
The relationship struggles of this woman were still present but her focus changed.
Jesus becomes the center of this woman’s life.
The woman had bled for 12 years and she touches Jesus.
When she touches Jesus, she is healed.
Jesus calls her daughter and says go in peace your faith has made you well.
Jesus heals the mans daughter who had died.
The shepherds were the most unlikely people and the announcement of our Savior went to them.
Mary was unlikely to carry our Lord and she says as all this was taking place she treasured these things up in her heart.
This Christmas slow down fall in love with Jesus.
Recognize the one who came that we celebrate Jesus is really who he says he is.
