Luke 2:1-20
“Isn’t there anyone who can tell me what Christmas is all about?”
Frustrated and ridiculed, Charlie Brown cries out, “Isn’t there anyone who can tell me what Christmas is all about?” By this time of the Christmas Season we might also have the same question. Hopefully, these Advent devotionals have helped you understand the real meaning of Christmas. Fortunately Charlie Brown has a friend in Linus who can answer his question. He uses the words of Luke 2:8-14. Please click here to watch and listen.
Linus is gentle and wise but have you ever noticed that he is always hanging onto his blanket in every scene. It must give him the security he needs to move through life and our uncertain world. What is it that you are holding onto? What could you embrace that would bring such joy that you could let go of everything else in life. The angel’s message to us is:
“Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”
Did you notice that Linus dropped his blanket as he recited the greatest story ever told. Truly, this is a time of great joy. So let us with the angels declare:
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace,
good will toward men.”
