The Heart Of Christmas
Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol was released on December 19, 1843, and has never been out of print. It tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a wealthy, sour, stingy man who says, Every idiot who goes about with Merry Christmas, on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding! Yet, one Christmas Eve, Scrooge is radically changed into a generous and happy man. With great humor and insight, Dickens book captures the universal longing for inner peace.
As a young man, the apostle Paul opposed Jesus and His followers with a vengeful spirit. He made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off men and women, committing them to prison (Acts 8:3). But one day he encountered the risen Christ, and his life became a different story (9:1-16).
In a letter to Timothy, his son in the faith, Paul described that life-changing event by saying, even though he was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man . . . the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 1:13-14).
Jesus was born into our world and gave His life so that we can be forgiven and transformed through faith in Him. This is the heart of Christmas!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,
And with His blood mankind hath bought. English carol
A change in behavior begins with Jesus changing our heart.
Though Pauls words to Timothy in todays reading are not one of the traditional biblical texts we read at Christmas, they definitely have application for this season. In verse 15 we read: Christ Jesus came into the world. This is a reference not only to Christs coming but also to His purpose for coming. Why was He born in human flesh? Paul answers that question by adding, to save sinners. Jesus coming was a mission of rescue for a race that desperately needed a Savior.
