Is Christmas Pagan? The true history of Christmas is about the birth of the Messiah our Lord Jesus Christ.
Join Ric and Professor Rob Solberg as they discuss the biblical roots and worshipful dimensions of Christmas. And that modern Christmas is not pagan and does not have pagan roots. The angels in Luke 2 celebrated the birth of the long-awaited Messiah of Israel.
Rob explained that his book, “Full of Grace and Truth: The Bible Roots of Christmas,” and its study guide were developed to focus on worship and theology. They agreed that Christmas can be understood as thoroughly biblical and addressed common misconceptions about its supposed pagan origins. Ric also highlighted what he sees as an unprecedented level of attack on Christmas, which is rather odd except that the attack is against the Gospel.
We should focus our attention not on consumerism but on teaching our children the glorious purposes of God in the Messiah of Israel, coming to rescue mankind from sin and death. Jesus, our Savior, is our true gift!
