Series: Christmas is in high gear at Cross Church and allow me to say to wish you a very merry Christmas! Thank you for joining me for a Christmas sermon series entitled, A Timeless Christmas.
I invite you to find John 1 with me.
People are increasingly talking about the holiday as Christmas Day approaches. We all know it's the most wonderful time of the year. You are cueing up your favorite Christmas songs, choosing your favorite holiday recipes, and choosing which Christmas parties you attend. We all know about the Wise Men who came to the Christ child.
I loved this from Ruth Marshall, a retired pastor's wife in Missouri: Her dishtowel reads, "Three Wise Woman would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stables, made a casserole, brought practical gifts and there would be Peace on Earth!"1
There is so much happiness for so many when it comes to Christmas. Others struggle to find happiness even in the merriest of times.
Pearl Harbor
On this past Thursday (December 7), our nation observed the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The bombing began at 7:55 am local time in Hawaii. Hours later, the last bomb was finally dropped, and 2,403 lives were lost. In just a few hours, America would declare war on the Axis powers of Japan, Italy, and Germany. If you are like me, we often forget just how close the bombing of Pearl Harbor was to Christmas. After all, coffins and Christmas carols don't go together.2
A number of families were burying their dead sailors on Christmas 1941. No matter if you are riding the highest of highs or the lowest of lows, Christmas promises everlasting joy and a profound meaning in life for each and every one of us.
Christmas brings us, Jesus. And Jesus promises everlasting joy and a profound meaning in life for each and every one of us.
Let me show why in John 1.
