What false witness? You going to argue with the hand damage? Or the belly scar?

Or my personal revelation?

Take it to the Lord in Prayer.

I stand, redeemed in blood. Regardless of what you like. I was there. Every hateful moment of it. I was there.

How about focusing on the BIRTH of Christ. Since that's where we are in the year.

The purpose for the Christmas birth of Christ Jesus is well summarized in Galatians 4:4-5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem then that were under that law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

That is a full summary of why God sent His Son. When we celebrate the birth of Jesus - we must need to celebrate that when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem then that were under that law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

People need to remember the greater purpose for why Jesus was born. It's much more than simply a baby in a manger - but Galatians 4:4-5 nails it down well for us to celebrate on in addition to His birth.

So what do you celebrate at Christmas - just a baby born in a manager, peace? Galatians 4:4-5 is the purpose for why we have a Christmas. God has made peace with us because His Son was born to go to that cross to make peace for us. The cross of Chris is everything - that is the express purpose of why He was born. That is what I celebrate at Christmas as a believer-saint in this Grace of His Grace according to His mighty power of His birth, life, and resurrection from the dead.
