TRANSCRIPTION:
Hey everybody, Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas everybody. I hope you’re having a great morning with your family. I hope you guys are being blessed and encouraged. Today, I’m going to do something a little bit different, because after all it is Christmas. We’re going to focus on why we really need the miracle of Christmas. Stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
All right you guys, so today’s a really special day. I think this might be the first time in seven years of doing this podcast, that I have had a podcast ready for you on Christmas day. And I’m going to just spend a little bit of time just encouraging you about why we really need Christmas. And Max Lucado wrote something that I thought was really encouraging, and he said,
“Do we really need another Christmas? We sing the same songs, put up the same tree, and we shop for the same socks and sweaters every year. Is the message of peace on earth, goodwill toward men, still relevant? Still possible? Consider the story behind Christmas. Hollywood would recast Christmas. Joseph’s collar is way too blue. Mary is green from inexperience. The couple’s star power just doesn’t match the bill. Too obscure. Too simple. The story warrants some headliners. A square-jawed Joseph. Someone of the Clooney vintage. And Mary needs a beauty mark and glistening teeth. Angelina Jolie-ish. And what about the shepherds? Do they sing? If so, perhaps Bono and U2? Do we really need another Christmas? Yes, we sing the same songs, put up the same trees, shop for the same socks and sweaters every year. Is the message of peace on earth, goodwill toward men still relevant? Still possible?
