Page 46 - CHRISTMAS
P. 46
What we're going to read in Jeremiah 10
was written about 600 years before the birth
of Jesus Christ. We're going to talk a few
moments about the Christmas tree. Is it
beautiful? Be honest with me. Yes, it’s very
beautiful. It becomes the centerpiece. Over
the years my wife and I have referred to it as
“the Baal bush.” You can call it whatever you
want, but it is absolutely beautiful, and it is
probably the most popular symbol of
Christmas. There are many legends and
myths about the Christmas tree. You can go
back to the ancient druid and there are
legends. In Catholicism there are legends. In
ancient Rome there are legends. And then
Martin Luther, the Reformer. It just depends
on where you want to go and what you want
