“But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son.” Galatians 4:4 Christmas is the time we celebrate God’s special gift to humanity, the gift of his Son. But if Christmas is about the birth of the Son of God, why do so few focus on the Incarnation of God’s Son and celebrate with shopping trips and jingle bells? A series of Google seasonal searches can offer an interesting view of how people regard Christmas. “Christmas tree” and “Christmas songs” each get an average of a million monthly searches, while “nativity of Jesus” gets about 3,600, and “Christmas gifts” gets 165,000. In 2022 Good Housekeeping published the “Ultimate Christmas Poll,” containing 49 questions none of which dealt with the Incarnation or even suggested a religious purpose for the holiday. In response to this lack of focus on Jesus and the salvation he brought through the Incarnation, a common Christian phrase used at Christmas is “Wise Men Still Seek Him.” The original Wise Men were only the first Gentiles to worship Jesus. Christians from many ethnic backgrounds across the globe worship this one called the Christ, Messiah, and Savior. This study guide will create discussions on a variety of issues pertaining to the Incarnation. How does your celebration of Christmas honor the Incarnation?
