Luke 2 records for us the event which we celebrate at Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ. Up to that point, this was the greatest event in the history of mankind, yet there were many who missed it. Not only did they miss its occurrence, but they missed its meaning, and from these ones we can learn some important lessons about Christmas. First, the Innkeepers missed Christmas because of their busyness and indifference. Second, Herod missed Christmas because of his fear of losing his power and position. Third, the Pharisees missed Christmas because their religious knowledge prevented their recognition of the Messiah.
