Light of the World | Why Christmas?

Why Christmas? Discover the answer to that question in Waxer's Christmas Eve message. Reading from Isaiah 7:14, this message explores the profound promise given to the world: Immanuel, God with us. Spoken nearly 700 years before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah’s prophecy reveals that God’s answer to fear was not strategy or strength, but His presence. Through the miracle of the virgin birth, God stepped directly into human history, declaring that salvation would come not by human effort, but by divine intervention. Through Mary’s faith and obedience, we are reminded that God’s promises often come before understanding, and that blessing flows from belief in His promises. Before Jesus preached or performed miracles, His very presence proclaimed the gospel—God is not distant, but near, present, and faithful. Christmas is the assurance that God keeps His promises, that He is with us in every season, and that Jesus came not merely to improve our lives, but to make it possible for us to be with Him now and forever.
