Luke 2:8-
Why we need to silence the busyness in our lives.
1. Jesus will not compete with Distractions.
2. Jesus will not be Displaced.
Reporter Kirsten Powers writes of how, growing up, “Christmas in my family—like it is in lots of families—was really a cultural event focused on the exchange of gifts.”
However, after coming to faith in Christ, her view was changed.
Tried of the commercialization of Christmas, she came to realize “I had allowed the secular celebrations of Christmas to crowd out its transcendent meaning.
As theologian N. T. Wright points out, it’s Christmas that is the moment when God launched a ‘divine rescue mission’ of humankind (Kirsten Powers, “The First Noel: Christmas with Jesus,” The Christmas Virtues [West Conshohocken, PA: Templeton Press, 2015], excerpted as “Becoming a Christian Ruined My Love of Christmas,” Christianity Today, December 17, 2015, http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2015/december-web-only/kirsten-powers-becoming-christian-ruined-my-love-of-christm.html?start=1)
