When asked what my favorite holiday would be I didn’t need to think too long to come up with Christmas. If you asked me what was the most important I would say Good Friday. It is easy to forget that the reason God became flesh was so that He could die on the cross.
I have a friend who tries to convince me that Jesus came only for the Jews. In his theological system it sounds like the cross was just the result of the Jews not responding, an accident. But keep in mind that John 3:16 uses words like “world” and “whosoever”.
Enjoy the holiday. Celebrate the incarnation. In the midst of the joy don’t forget to be thankful that He was willing to come.
Merry Christmas.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
