Isn't it beautiful that the deepest meaning of Christmas is found in the One who first gave Himself to us?

In this Christmas episode, John continues part two of his Christmas to Remember series, inviting us to step beyond the noise of the season and seek its spiritual core.

Through the beloved story “The Man and the Birds,” popularized by Paul Harvey, he offers a vivid picture of God’s compassion and the miracle of Christ coming near, on the rich invitation behind Adeste Fideles (“O Come, All Ye Faithful”) and how its message still calls our hearts today.

With gentle guidance and meaningful insight, he encourages us to pause, remember Christ’s gift again, and consider who in our lives may need a simple invitation to experience the wonder of Christmas Eve.

In this episode, John discusses: 

Stepping away from holiday stress to rediscover the spiritual heart of Christmas

The powerful message of The Man and the Birds and how it illustrates God’s love

The personal invitation of Adeste Fideles (“O Come All Ye Faithful”) and what it calls us toward

Key Takeaways:

Christmas is a revelation of God drawing near, stepping into our world so we could understand His love in a way we would never grasp on our own.

Every act of giving, kindness, or generosity this season becomes a small reflection of God’s heart, who gave Himself fully and freely.

Before we give anything away this season, we’re invited to rest in Jesus, remember Him, and let His presence shape our celebrations.

Christmas Eve offers a simple but meaningful opportunity to extend an invitation—one conversation, one question, can open a door for someone to encounter the heart of Christmas.

“Christ is not one of the gifts under the tree. He is the gift above the tree.”

We wrap up our advent series with the message of love and with who Christ is. "Love" is a word that is used in a lot of different ways in our world, but how does the Bible define it?

Psalm 130
