What Do You Really Need This Christmas? | Christ For You
Text: Luke 2:15-20| Christmas Day
Why does Christmas sometimes feel useless? Why can the day be beautiful, and yet nothing in your life actually changes? The pain is still there. The loneliness is still there. The guilt is still there. And church can start to feel like a strange little ritual that doesn’t touch the real problems.
But underneath that frustration sits a deeper lie: that your biggest problem is your situation. If the money came, if the marriage improved, if the grief lifted, then you’d finally be okay. Scripture says your biggest problem is not around you. It’s in you: sin, a haunted conscience, and the death that follows.
So God does not give you what you think you need. He gives you what you actually need. He gives you Himself. The Baby in the manger is the Man on the cross, and the Man on the cross is the Lord who forgives you day after day. Christmas is not God offering advice or upgrades. Christmas is God coming near, in real flesh and blood, to save you.
If you feel empty, disappointed, or even numb this Christmas, this sermon is for you.
