Carols - Away in a Manger

Jesus is Lord

December 15-22, 2013

Ephesians 6:12

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” 

There is a tendency for all of us to forget that the battles that we face day in and day out have much less to do with what we see than they do with the Spiritual realm.  This reality is reinforced by the Christmas story as told in Revelation chapter 12.   Given that the battle rages and that Satan is furious and has made war with those of us who hold to the commandments and to the testimony of Jesus (Rev 12:17), it is critical that we realize that we remember that Jesus has overcome, is overcoming and will ultimately overcome and set right all evil.

Is the spiritual view of the Christmas story new to you?  Does it impact your view of the Christmas story?  If so, How?

Have a great week!
