Why are we having church on Sunday? Christmas morning? The kids want to start tearing open their presents, and there are big Christmas dinners to cook. Some of the biggest churches in town are cancelling services, after all.
It seems to me that once every seven years, when Christmas falls on a Sunday, we have an opportunity to remind ourselves, and our children, that Christmas really is about Christ. Not presents, not big dinners. It is an opportunity to prove the priority of worship.
It’s Jesus’ birthday. We get the presents. And HE is the present that gives it all meaning.
