Embrace war on Christmas

Every gift - and every child - needs to be delivered. Only one gift - one child - can possibly deliver. Christmas isn’t just about the birth of a baby. That happens all the time. And this baby’s birth would have long been forgotten among the billions of others if not for who he was and what he came to do. Even as we remember his birth, we do so with an eye to his entire mission on earth: to crush the devil for us with his suffering and death on the cross. Christmas is worth remembering not only because a baby was delivered, but because this one baby is our deliverer.
