Christmas is about worshipping while we wait for Christ!
Luke 23:44-56 - "The Sacrificial Lamb"
When we fail to think about Jesus’ birth in light of His death, our Christmas celebration begins to lose some of the richest truths of the Christian faith. Together, the birth and death of Jesus paint a vivid portrait of God’s purposeful plan to save us from sin and death, and the extent to which we embrace these truths is the extent to which we will experience God’s grace and peace in Christ.

Too many of us miss out on the true joy and peace of Christmas because we miss the point of who Christ is and why He came to that manger in the first place. Matthew’s genealogy is a powerful reminder that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah who came to fulfill God’s promises to Abraham and David, and to bring the joy and peace of God’s grace to sinners and strangers like you and me.
