Christmas is the day that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We Christians are celebrating the coming of the Lord by setting apart one day as “Christmas.”
When I was a child, I used to go to church around Christmas. To be honest with you, I went there to get free tasty food. While I was young, people were impoverished with the Korean War. There were times I had to go to an orphanage in town with an empty bag to get some milk powder. At that moment I felt envious of those orphans because they seemed to be being fed better than I was. At the orphanage where I went begging, I saw a cross for the first time in my life. In those days orphanages were being supported by American Christians, so there used to be crosses at any orphanages. I didn’t have faith when I first went to church and looked at the cross, but as I got older, I came to put my faith in Jesus; and now I am delivering the Christmas message to you as a pastor.

That Jesus Christ has come to this world in human flesh is really the greatest miracle. That God the Creator took on the appearance of His creature and came to dwell among the creatures is really a great miracle.
When our Lord came to this world, the angels appeared to the shepherds and said, “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” It is written here, “This will be the sign.” It means there will be a miracle. The waters dividing as Moses points to the Red Sea is a greater miracle, but the greatest miracle, the greatest work, among the miracles we can find in the Bible, is the event of God coming to this world in human flesh as Baby Jesus. This is the biggest event in the history of this world. There probably was no greater miracle than this in the universe.

We just read Luke chapter 2 as our main Scripture passage for today.
Verse 11 said here, “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” This means that the King of kings had come to this earth to save us from all our sins and iniquities. This very day, when the King of kings who made the universe came to this earth, is none other than Christmas Day. Take a look at the stars in the sky. Just how many stars are there? Christmas is the day when God Himself, the Creator who made all such hosts of the heavens and the earth, and who is the King of kings, personally came to this earth incarnated in the flesh of man in order to save us sinners from all sins. I thank the King of kings for coming to this earth. Words cannot express how overwhelming it is that the King of kings personally came to this earth for the lowly human race, for you and me.
