Grace -- Why We Celebrate
Manage episode 315772194 series 3288767
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer started as a marketing ploy by the Montgomery Ward department store. Today, it is the third best selling Christmas song of all time. For some, this may be a sign that the world is too focused on the wrong thing at Christmas time, forgetting the true meaning of the celebration, and commercializing the holiday, elevating all kinds of things that don't really matter.
But even in this simple children's song, an echo of the real reason for the season remains -- Grace!
At Christmas, we remember that Jesus came to earth, but that event is only important if we remember why he came into the world in the first place -- to show incredible, unearned, unmerited grace and favour to an undeserving people, and to win for himself a people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.
No matter how much the world may try to shift our focus away from this, the true reason for Christmas will always be there, if we only care to look for it.
