I can hear the blue-haired, stuck-in-the-mud, religious legalist buzz killers right now. “WHAAAAATTTT????, you can’t teach about Christmas!!!! It’s not Thanksgiving yet!! You can’t watch Christmas movies, sing carols, or decorate until Thanksgiving, and you must take down your decorations the day after Christmas, and certainly no later than New Year’s Day !!!!!!!!!!!” Avoid them like Covid.
Let’s tackle Thanksgiving first thing. Thanksgiving Day is just that! It is a day that men have designated to give thanks, which should be done all day, every day. It is not a prerequisite for starting your Christmas party!!!!!
CHRISTMAS IS NOT A DAY!! IT IS NOW!! FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN SAVED BY BELIEVING AND BELIEVING IN JESUS, CHRISTMAS IS EVERY DAY!!!
Come on, get with it! Start the party!! Light the lights, aggravate your Debbie Downer, Party Pooper, Buzz Killer friends, relatives, and neighbors, and be Clark W. Grizmund! Make your home look like your joy exploded!
“LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN!”
Dare folks to ask you why you love Christmas so much and then share the “GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL MEN” with them.
The King of Kings has no objections to our rejoicing over His gift, no matter when, where, or how we do. I love Christmas. I am a certified Christmas nut. I love the decorations, the lights, the singing, the feasts, the love, and the joy that come with it.
I love it when people acknowledge our King and praise Him. I love the focus on God, goodness, love, charity, and joyful expectation. I love all of it. Christmas is a year-round event for me; the celebration begins now.
HERE IS WHY WE REJOICE AND CELEBRATE THE GREATEST ACT OF LOVE EVER!
Jesus explained Himself and why He came to earth in the flesh to the spiritually blind High Priest Nicodemus, who could not understand what Jesus said to him because of his spiritual acuity.
“If I have told you of things that happen right here on the earth, and yet none of you believes Me, how can you believe Me if I tell you of heavenly things?
“And yet no one has ever gone to heaven, but there is One Who has come down from heaven–The Son of Man, (Jesus) Whose home is in heaven.”
“And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert on a pole, so must the Son Of Man be lifted up on the cross. So that EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM May not die but have eternal life and live forever!”
“FOR GOD SO LOVED, The World (You personally, just the way you are, sins, warts and all.) THAT HE GAVE (Remember this equation. God’s Love produced His Gift)
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (Himself in an earth suit) SO THAT (There was a purpose for His act of infinite mercy, compassion, forgiveness, grace, and love.) WHOEVER (meaning precisely that, whoever: not those who are good, not those who repent, not those who confess, not those who are baptized. WHOEVER!) BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NEVER DIE BUT WILL LIVE FOREVER.
Because, God did not send His Son into the earth to judge, reject, condemn, and pass judgment on the world (you personally fill in your name), but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
HE (anyone) WHO BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT JUDGED, OR CONDEMNED, BUT HE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN HIM IS JUDGED AND CONDEMNED ALREADY because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
(John 3:12-18)
That is the whole program. Believe in Jesus and live with Him in heaven forever, or reject Him and condemn yourself. God does not condemn you; you do by rejecting the only possible method of salvation.
(John 14:6)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! THAT IS WHAT WE CELEBRATE!
We celebrate and praise God for teaching us what love is! We celebrate His undying, eternal, unconditional, incomprehensible love for each of us. We celebrate our love for Jesus and, in turn, our love for one another. It’s all about Love.
“Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Listen carefully, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will call his name Immanuel, God with us.”
(Isaiah 7:14)
Immanuel God with us. When Jesus came to us, He was God in the flesh. When He returned to His throne, He moved into the hearts of all who believe and believe in Him in the Person of Holy Spirit. Jesus is God with us. He will never leave or forsake us, and He lives in us forever, and of His reign, there shall be no end.
My dear friend and mentor, the late great Pastor Dwight Keith used to say: “If that does not light your fire, your wood is wet!”
LETS GO CELEBRATE THE LOVE OF JESUS RIGHT NOW!
Mary Christmas!

Will you be like Charlie Kirk and reject the fear of what others think, boldly acknowledging Jesus before men as He commanded us to do?
One way to acknowledge Jesus before men is to help us take His Gospel of Love to a world starving for it.
