So as of late, I’ve heard the phrase, “I’m getting into the Christmas spirit” quite a bit.  I understand what they mean; however, What is the true spirit of Christmas?  A week ago, I was blessed to see Andrew Peterson play his Christmas concert. Behold the Lamb of God, the True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ. This concert has been a tradition for Sarah and I for the past four years. The music always has the same effect, it focuses me on Christ.  The true focal point not only of Christmas, but also our lives.  The last two years Andrew has read the first part of Sally Lloyd Jones’ book “The Jesus Storybook Bible”

“(The bible is) like an adventure story about a young Hero who came from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne, everything to rescue the one he loves. It’s like the most wonderful of fairy tales that have come true in real life.

You see, the best thing about this story is—it’s true.

It takes the whole Bible to tell this story. And at the center of the Story there is a baby. Every story in the Bible whispers his name. He is like the missing piece in a  puzzle—the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together and suddenly you can see a beautiful picture.

And this is no ordinary baby. This is the Child upon whom everything would depend.

Is the peace on Earth and Good will toward man we desire what is actually spoken about in the bible?  Or is it something different?

I believe that Christ is our peace, and The good will toward men is from God…  Christ has come!  How Great is our God! Merry Christmas.
