In the sermon of this post, MLJ talks about numerous futile ways of viewing Christmas. Such ways have been tried by even advanced civilizations like the Greeks; today also, when Christians attempt to forward Christianity via a focus on moralism; or via politics, legislation… they err. We must look to Christ alone for salvation. [I usually watch a dozen or more Christmas movies every year and it is a very rare thing to hear the name of Jesus mentioned, or, for example, to hear a prayer to God. Everybody is always talking about the spirit, or the magic of Christmas, about the goodness of being near family and being kind…. MLJ’s message shows that such things miss the point in that they are secondary matters. If one’s heart is changed by Christ, then such things will ensue, but without Christ, such are meaningless, as He is the foundation….]
