Christmas isn’t just in the heart, or about giving, or the love of family and friends. Christmas is the celebration of an historic event that took place with real people in a real place at a certain time. It’s not a made-up story that should inspire you whether it’s true or not. Christmas is the celebration of the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who became flesh so that we could see in Him the glory and truth of God, and receive from His fullness grace upon grace. The message answers three questions: What is Christmas? What is “grace upon grace”? How does the abundant grace of Jesus change our lives?
