Right Start Radio With Pastor Jim Custer

If your Christmas celebration is always chaotic, that's tradition, too! Change is always unsettling, in some ways. "Disruption," is a word we've heard a lot lately. But 2,000 years ago God brought the Change! For shepherds, scholars, and Scripture experts; for Herod, and the victims of Herod; for nations like Rome and Egypt; for individuals like Mary and Joseph - things would never be the same. Here's Jim with some final Christmas-week thoughts.

The Magi saw *a* star - we see billions of them! The "Christmas Star" proclaimed the existence of the King. But isn't that what all stars do? This special star shone for a little while, but as David put it, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge." What was so special about this one star?

God was moving the chess pieces around, to get the King into position! It wasn't just entire human populations that were being shifted; the planetarium had been reprogrammed, as well! The heavens and the Earth were simply adjusted, to accommodate the birth of Jesus. The Incarnation is an event that can't be contained in just one place or season - or day. Here's Jim with the conclusion of, Keeping Christ in Christmas.

"It's all a big accident," they tell us. From you to the universe, it's all just random chance. No plan, no direction, no purpose. They tell us. But then how can there be a prophecy about Messiah's arrival on a certain day, hundreds of years in advance? How does blind luck explain hundreds of such predictions, accurately fulfilled? Isn't the better explanation that there is a God who has a Plan, and even a Timetable?

"Keep Christ in Christmas!" It makes a good bumper sticker. Bumper stickers, wall hangings and slogans aren't long enough to let us fully explain an idea. At best they're provokers of thought. At worst they're preventers of thought - simplistic and misleading. So which is, "Keep Christ in Christmas?" Will we let it slide on by our consciousness, or will we use it to think more deeply? We're pausing our "Daniel" series to bring you some messages on the Incarnation.
