About this sermon
Is the feast of the Nativity simply Christ’s birthday? In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen. My beloved it’s that time of year again where many of us are filled with joy and happiness and we are mesmerized with all the lights and decorations that ornament our streets and our homes. Some of us have snow and ice, others palm trees and sand. Regardless, we all know that Christmas is right around the corner. Now for all Christians, we celebrate the birth of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. For others who do not share our faith, it’s a holiday none the less! But let’s not get things confused here, for us as Christians, this is not merely an annual birthday party for our Lord. We don’t come together as a Christian community and ask the Lord to blow out his candles! No not at all, the birth of our incarnate Lord means so much more to us than simply his “birthday”. So today we clarify a few things and we put the emphasis where it belongs. We ask the question “Is the feast of the Nativity simply Christ’s birthday?” Let’s jump right in and find out.
