The Christmas story, as told by Luke, is a powerful and poignant recounting of the birth of Christ, the Son of God and the savior of the world. It is a story of love, mercy, and sacrifice, one that has been revered by believers for centuries as a cornerstone of the Christian faith.

However, in recent decades, the true meaning of Christmas has been obscured by the commercialization and distortion of its message. The holiday has become consumed by materialism, with an emphasis on gift-giving and consumerism taking center stage. This is a far cry from the humble beginnings of Jesus, who was born in a stable and was presented with gifts of honor and worship rather than material possessions.

In today’s world, the pressure to buy expensive gifts and participate in a culture of excess and consumerism runs counter to the spirit of the Christmas story. And sadly, the figure of Jesus, the very heart of the holiday, has been replaced in many people’s minds by the myth of Santa Claus and other superficial symbols.

From the constant stream of holiday advertisements and merchandise to the over-the-top decorations and festive events, it is all too easy to get caught up in the glitz and glamour of Christmas and lose sight of its true meaning. Voddie Baucham offers a passionate reminder of this danger, urging us to remember the core message of the holiday and to embrace its true spirit of love, mercy, and grace.
