STUDY SHEETS for Sunday December 6, 2015

Jesus Messiah-The Prequel - movie theater

I like Christmas.

And … I am not going to bemoan the commercialism. What else should we expect from a world apart from Christ? Besides, I like the excitement of sharing gifts. I like bringing happiness to people in this way and sharing the happiness of others doing the same. I like hitting Amazon for just the right gift for the person I love and picturing their joy. Guys, I’m a little hesitant to say this out loud, but I like shopping with my wife. There. I’m out of the closet. 🙂

Commercialism and Black Friday and Cyber Monday and dysfunctional family gatherings … That isn’t the Christian problem, as in what the follower of Jesus should identify if he or she is confused about the meaning of Christmas. It is easy to point the finger and blame, but really, who is to blame if you are not honoring God in your life?

Our problem is that it is easy to forget, to lose our spiritual edge and awareness.

Even something as momentous, as epochal as the Son of God coming to this planet to bring us salvation. The mockers even bring our attention to how long it has been and our foolishness in hanging on to hope that was promised 2,000 years ago.

And we cannot remember, not on our own.

So we are going to look into the distant past and look into the distant future to remind ourselves what has happened and what that means to us when the Son of God came to Earth as an infant Child.
