What makes Christmas a truly happy or merry time?
Phil invites us to reconsider what and why we celebrate at Christmas in this spoken word. Is there more to Christmas than a holiday, family time, presents?
Phil clearly and thoughtfully unpacks three names given to the baby in the manger: "Christ" or "Messiah" because he is God's promised king, "Jesus" because he saved us from our sins and "Immanuel" meaning 'God with us'.
So, what makes Christmas truly merry? The good news of 'God with us'.
