Christmas is not about a certain day, December 25th, or how our houses look, or how nice the gifts are that we receive. Christmas is about the truth of Christ being born in your heart, and the fact that truth is to be carried in your heart all year long. One month from today, the trappings of Christmas will be gone from our retail stores, and the endless versions of Rudolph-the-Red-Nosed-Reindeer will be gone from our radio programming. Our beautiful poinsettias will be leaf-less and wilted. The wrapping paper on our gifts will be in our trash cans and our streets will be littered with old, brittle, dead trees. If those trappings of Christmas are for you, the true meaning of the life of the Savior, then your Christian faith is of little value to your ultimate salvation.
