While Christmas honors the birth of Christ, sometimes we forget exactly who we are celebrating. As Alistair Begg makes clear, the little baby in the manger was God Himself, arriving on earth to save us all through His death and resurrection. He is not merely one good choice among many on the religious smorgasbord. Rather, He is the only one who can utterly transform us, providing us with meaning and worth as no other can.
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life,1 and the life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
8And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”3
