Celebrating Christmas: The Responses
12/27/09
Dr. Phil Wilkes, Luke 2:16-20
Christmas can evoke a lot of different feelings and responses from people. Some look forward to the parties, good food and being with family. Children are excited about what they might find under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. Parents may be dreading the arrival of the bills they know will come. Many will choose to participate in special Christmas worship experiences.
When Christ was born we see various reactions to the birth of Jesus. Some rejoice and celebrate while others become fearful and angry. When people encountered Jesus they could not remain neutral about Him. They either chose to follow Him or go their own way. How will you choose to respond to the gift of Jesus in your life this Christmas?
