Episode 176: Blowing Up Christmas For Everyone

Who would have ever thought that the season on the calendar wherein the world considers the birth of Jesus Christ would have ever ended up being a rope with which Christians play a spiteful game of tug-of-war? If nothing else, Christmastime proves yet again that Christians have learned to fight each other over anything. While each is free to decide for themselves whether or not the modern modes of observing Christmas make sense to them or not, we do well to at least examine what Scripture says about the First Advent of Messiah. From an ancient prophesy, this Mavericks & Misfits episode traces the birth of Jesus all the way to His titles of divinity and His coming return to this planet. What began in Mary’s womb culminates in an eternal throne. This should become the focus of Christmas.
