Yet in a very little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. —Hebrews 10:37
Hebrews is a beautiful letter written to Jews who were considering what it would mean to follow Jesus or to some who were struggling with their newfound faith. I can imagine how difficult the message of Christianity was for them. It challenged everything they knew and their traditions, and it contradicted their heritage.
How many of us—in even small ways—struggle with how Christ challenges what we know, our traditions, our heritage? It can be a struggle for even believers to stay true to Christ while celebrating Christmas. For Christ is Christmas! Without Him, December 25 is just a man-made holiday with empty and worldly traditions.
The whole message of Hebrews (and Christmas) is this: Jesus is better, Christianity is superior, and Christ is supreme!
This Christmas, let us live with an acute aware- ness that our Savior came on a rescue mission— ransoming sinners and making them new. If we really know this, we will live in a way that’s not only worthy of the gospel but one that compels us to share it!
