Jesus' Christmas Celebration | Psalm 40

Candles, manger scenes, Christmas trees, and carols are all associated with modern Christmas celebrations, but they have nothing to do with Scripture. Instead of conforming to sentimental Victorian models of Christmas celebration, Jesus celebrated His incarnation by acknowledging that His coming into the world was for the purpose of laying down His life in sacrifice according to the Father's will. This message shows how the voice of Christ is heard throughout the psalm and applies the model of Christ's Christmas celebration to the Church by underscoring the necessity of the Church commemorating Christ's coming into this world in a way that conforms to the regulative principle of worship.
