Keeping Christ in Christmas

Keeping Christ in Christmas

The number one way to keep Jesus Christ in your Christmas celebration is to have Him present in your daily life. "If you've already accepted Jesus as your Savior and made Him the center of your life, keeping Christ in Christmas is more about the way you live than the things you say—such as "Merry Christmas" versus "Happy Holidays."

Keeping Christ in Christmas means daily revealing the character, love and spirit of Christ that dwells in you, by allowing these traits to shine through your actions. Here are simple ways to keep Christ the central focus of your life this Christmas season.

1) Give God one very special gift just from you to Him:

Let this gift be something personal that no one else needs to know about, and let it be a sacrifice. David said in 2 Samuel 24 that he would not offer a sacrifice to God that cost him nothing.

Maybe your gift to God will be to forgive someone you've needed to forgive for a long time. You may discover that you've given a gift back to yourself.

2) Set aside a special time to read the Christmas story in Luke 1:5-56 through 2:1-20

3) Set up a Nativity scene in your home

4) Plan a project of good will this Christmas

5) Set aside a time of family devotions on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning

Just remember, make sure you keep Christ in your Christmas.

Christmas at Our Doorstep

-|

Sermon: Christmas at Our Doorstep

Text: Luke 2:1–20
Theme: The Nearness of Christ – God Comes Close
Length: ~8–10 minutes (adjustable)


Introduction: The Season’s Nearness

Christmas is at our doorstep. You can feel it – the lights, the music, the smells of baking, the rush of shopping, the buzz of expectation. And yet, in the middle of all that noise, there’s a gentle knock – not from the delivery man, but from the Savior.

Christmas isn’t just a holiday coming near. It’s God Himself coming near.


1. The First Christmas Was at Their Doorstep – But Few Noticed

Luke 2 tells us of a Savior born in a manger – not in a palace or a temple, but in the quiet, hidden corners of the world.

The people of Bethlehem had no room for Him. The inn was full. Life was busy. People were preoccupied. Sound familiar?

Sometimes we’re so caught up in the celebration that we miss Christ in Christmas.


2. God Still Comes Close

John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.”
Jesus didn’t shout at us from a distance. He came to our doorstep.

He stepped into our mess – into poverty, pain, uncertainty. Not as a distant deity, but as Emmanuel – God with us.

Christmas is not about us climbing up to God – it’s about God stepping down to us.


3. Will We Open the Door?

Revelation 3:20 – “Behold, I stand at the door and knock…”
This isn’t just poetic language. It’s personal.

Every Christmas, Jesus knocks again:

  • Not just on church doors
  • Not just on December 25th
  • But on the door of our hearts

He asks: Will you make room for Me?

Not just in your calendar, but in your life.


4. The Shepherds Responded – So Can We

When the angels told the shepherds, they didn’t delay. They said, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened.”

They came in awe. They left rejoicing.
Christmas changed them — not just the night, but their lives.

What about you?


Conclusion: The Door Is Open

This Christmas, as Christ stands at the doorstep, will we:

  • Hear His knock?
  • Make room in the inn of our lives?
  • Welcome Him not just once a year, but every day?

Let this Christmas be more than tradition.
Let it be transformation.

Christmas is at our doorstep — and so is Jesus.

Will you open the door?


Let me know if you’d like this sermon expanded with illustrations, a children’s version, or specific denominational flavor (e.g., Catholic, Baptist, Pentecostal, etc.).
