What does this world have in common with the ancient Athenian culture at Christmas?
I read in
Acts 17 that the Athenians were worshipping an "unknown god." They didn't
want to accidentally leave out some god whom they did not know and and thus offend (political correctness at its best [maybe worst] in Ancient Athens).
Satan, the god of this world has led our contemporary culture down the same path of political
correctness. Soon there will not be much left of the historic meaning of
Christmas. We are left with simply a "winter holiday" devoid of its true meaning.
This is our challenge: As fewer and fewer people understand the true meaning of Christmas we must declare Jesus "whom they do not know" (Acts 17:23).
The world worships at the altar of the "holidays god," whom they do
not know. So, we must proclaim Jesus to them who do not know HIM and we must do so
with joy at the opportunity.
Christmas is a time to share the greatest message on earth: "Behold the virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, meaning, God with us." (Matthew 1:23)"... The son of God who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)
