Christmas Is Here “But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.”

—Galatians 4:4-5 NIV

t is easy to overlook the fact that Jesus’s birth was the culmination of a series of crises. Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, found herself “with child.” Surely this was a crisis for Mary and Joseph. Joseph considered “divorcing her quietly,” but was advised by an angel in a dream not to do this.

Mary and Joseph then traveled to Bethlehem to fulfill the requirements for the Roman census, and were forced to take refuge in a stable because there was no room in the inn. Mary virtually gave birth to Jesus in a cowshed. While it is tempting to think of Christmas as a joyous celebration, we do well to remember that it has its roots in a series of crises, not the least of which is the existential crisis faced by mankind in general. That is, humanity needs a savior. We simply cannot redeem ourselves, no matter how hard we might try, and thus God in his love and compassion for his creatures sent his son to save us. The darker side of Christmas should remind us that many people struggle at this time of year.

People who are lonely or who have lost a loved one during the previous year may find this time of year difficult.

People struggling with alcohol or drug addictions may be unduly tempted at this time of year because of all the merry-making, and some people tend to become depressed because of the shorter daylight hours. Whatever the case may be, we all do well to recall that the first Christmas was a series of difficult events with a very happy ending. Reach out to someone who may be struggling with the holidays, and don’t despair; you’ll make it through the holidays! – Christopher Simon
