A Christmas Revelation

December 18, 2016 • Jim Wetzel

Today is one week before Christmas 2016. Undoubtedly you’ve been hearing many ideas about the “true meaning” of Christmas for several weeks. This morning I want us to understand Christmas from a Biblical perspective, but more than Biblical, but what I am calling a Biblically cosmic perspective. What I mean by this is; I want us to consider Christmas in relation to the meaning and purpose of the existence of the universe, most especially the existence of the human race.

There is a certain joy in giving a gift and seeing the person excited about receiving it. It is also a joy in receiving a gift from someone you know cares about you. It’s true Christmas has become commercialized but the exchange of gifts is a great reminder of the greatest gift of all which was wrapped in a blanket and laid in a manger on that very first Christmas. The baby Jesus was God’s gift to us!

And that’s because the primary purposes of the Old Testament is to prepare people to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
