Christmas Eve Service

We know there was no room at the inn. But what if there were no shepherds keeping their watch at night, no angels singing, no Mary, no Joseph, no manger scene? What if we just skipped Christmas this year? What would you miss?

It's a pretty audacious claim that Jesus is the Song of God. How we celebrate Christmas declares what we really believe about who Jesus was and who Jesus is. If Jesus had never come, we would never have known who God really is. Skipping Christmas may seem easier in the short-term, but we miss everything when we do.

God wanted to speak to us in a way that we could really understand, maybe for the very first time. Music speaks to us in very powerful ways. Many of us have a soundtrack of our life transitional moments -- a major sporting event, graduation, wedding day, birth of a child, the death of a loved one. If we skip Christmas, then we miss out on the soundtrack of Jesus.

There is one reason God sent Jesus into this world. It's not for a cute manger scene story. It's not about the tree, decorations, and presents. Sometimes we skip Christmas because of all the things we have made it to be -- things that have nothing to do with why Jesus came in the first place.
