The birth of Christ, as well as his death is a central theme of the salvation plan of God. It is popularly known as Christmas. Christmas celebrations are often flooded in a tsunami of commercialism, sentimentalism, and syncretism. So what can we do to ensure that we do not distort, dilute, or diminish the truths surrounding Christ's birth?

The simplest answer is to refresh our hearts by feasting on the scriptural accounts of Christ's birth. In these five biblical meditations, J. V. Fesko encourages us to reflect on the birth of Christ and not lose sight of its real meaning.
