The Comfort of Christmas
The Comfort of Christmas Isaiah 40:1-31 The celebration of Christmas stands out in stark contrast to the circumstances and conditions that exist in our world. Even as we approach the winter solstice when the sun is at the greatest distance from the equator and ushers in the dark days of winter, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ adds the light and sparkle to our hearts and lives. For many at Christmas the thoughts of joy, peace and plenty seem like far-fetched dreams in the light of the conflict, hatred and desperation that we find in the world. Even the closer personal reality of the stress, pressure and business of the season belies the purpose for the celebration. We find little joy or peace in the rush to celebrate and we are left exhausted and depressed. I’m sure that it will come as no surprise that we will find no lasting joy or peace when we are pressed to celebrate Christmas as our society does. We must look higher and deeper into the realm of the Spirit [God’s reality] in order to find what we are seeking. The reason for Christ’s coming into this world was, in fact, to offer us the hope of deliverance from our human dilemma. Jesus came to release us from the bondage and curse of sin. He came to lighten our darkness, ease our burdens, to save us from the sin and death that plague our lives. We celebrate His birth, His purpose, His sacrifice, His life, death, and resurrection, our salvation, and therein we discover the joy, peace, and blessing that is ours in Jesus Christ.
