Christmas is only and infinitely about the finished work of Calvary. Jesus, upon the cross, called out “it’s done! it’s finished!” So Christmas is only the arrival, and then the work begins, and if and when we celebrate anything short of that finished reality in our lives called salvation, Christmas will never be complete. We will be unfulfilled and disillusioned, and that’s where so many of us are we’re at the beginning, we’re at the arrival. We celebrate profusely at the arrival but we forget that’s not what it’s about. No matter how much we celebrate and even say it’s about Jesus we’re only celebrating his coming.
