Christmas According to Jesus

Dec 21, 2025    Don Chandler

In this Christmas message from Hebrews chapter 10, Bro. Don shifts the focus from the familiar nativity accounts to Christ’s own perspective on His coming into the world. After reflecting on the Gospel narratives from Matthew and Luke to John’s declaration that the Word became flesh, he emphasizes that Jesus came with a clear mission to reveal the Father’s heart, to replace the ineffective Old Testament system of repeated animal sacrifices, and to fulfill the Father’s will once and for all. Quoting Hebrews, Bro. Don explains that the blood of bulls and goats could never truly remove sin, but Christ’s single perfect sacrifice satisfied God’s justice eternally and established a new covenant that secures believers’ forgiveness. He stresses that sin rests either on our shoulders or on Christ’s, and through His finished work on the cross salvation is complete. Concluding with both celebration and urgency, Bro. Don reminds listeners that the baby born in Bethlehem came to die, rose again, now intercedes at God’s right hand, and will one day return in glory, making Christmas not just a remembrance of His birth but an invitation to new life in Him.
