Experience Christ at Christmas

"You see that lady over there? Do you know when she was born?"

"No! Of course not!"

"So by your reasoning, she doesn't exist then!" It was a simple way to expose sloppy thinking - but it makes the point succinctly around Christmas time. So, early Christians hijacked a pagan festival to make a clear point about redemptive analogies. So what! It's plainly obvious that Jesus was not born on December 25th. But that doesn't change the reality that He was born - and that His life had a profound impact on human history.

To deny the reality of His life because of uncertainty on matters that are of no consequence is to turn your back on the opportunity to experience His life-transforming power for yourself.
