The Danger of Christmas - When the Symbols Replace the Savior

Christmas becomes dangerous when the symbols grow larger than the Savior they were meant to proclaim. Mangers, music, gifts, and traditions can quietly replace worship if they are detached from the cross and the gospel. Families must come back to the full story of Christ—from incarnation and humiliation to death, resurrection, and kingship. True joy is found not in the celebration itself, but in the Savior it points to.
