I love Christmas movies, it doesn’t feel like it’s the Christmas season if I haven’t watched, The Grinch, Elf, Rudoph, and more. But my favorite Christmas movie is a Charlie Brown Christmas, I love the message against commercialism as Charlie discovers the true meaning of Christmas, “That a savior has been born who is Christ the Lord.” And in verse 47, Mary understands this truth.
She says “God is my savior.” What she is saying is, “I know I’m not good enough, I can’t do this on my own, I need someone to save me and I know that God is my savior and he will save me through his son Jesus. And God has chosen me to be the mother of Jesus.”
Jesus is our savior, he died and rose again so that we could have eternal life and live with God forever. And that is the message and hope of Christmas. That Jesus is born into this world to bring salvation to all of us.
Activity: Watch A Charlie Brown Christmas and talk about how we often forget about the true meaning of Christmas in the excitement of everything else.
