God Came Down

What do you celebrate at Christmas? Not just going along with the flow but consciously, deliberately celebrate.

And no, Andy Williams, you foolish Christmas paganizer, it’s not the ludicrous schlock you sing about in “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” or “Happy Holidays.” Pity all who are forced to hear that nonsense in the stores and malls.

Christmas is about more than baby Jesus being born. It’s much bigger than that. At Christmas we celebrate the fact that God come down. He condescended to enter this broken, sinful world because he loves us. He condescended to incarnate himself in Christ. His light invaded our darkness. It’s still invading the darkness. God comes down.

Merry Christmas.

Seriously.
