A Conquering Christmas

Agassiz Campus

December 10, 2023 • Dr. Jorge Salazar • Revelation 12:7–12

We are continuing our series through the Christmas season entitled “Cosmic Christmas”, now, I don’t know about you, but when I used to hear the word “cosmic” I would think of outer space; maybe it’s because I was given a wonderful book when I was 13 entitled “Cosmos” by Carl Sagan, and I loved it! It was one of my favorites even though it was in English, and I had to read it next to a dictionary back then in México! But when we use the word Cosmos, we use it in its true meaning, which is the opposite to chaos. So “Cosmos” is the entire universe, encompassing all of existence, not only galaxies, stars, and planets, but all forms of matter and energy including angels and demons and everything that there is. So, in the same way that our sin is cosmic treason to God, the celebration of Christmas is a cosmic celebration of what God has done for us, what He continues to do, and what He will do for us.

 

This morning we are going to focus on Revelation 12:7-12 and we’ll learn that Christmas is in fact a “conquering Christmas”. We’ll see that:

1.- Christmas is not a passive celebration

2.- There's war being waged for your soul

3.- Salvation, power and authority has come

4.- There is conquest by His blood and our testimony
