He Is Not There

Perhaps my most unusual Christmas message. Between Ephesians studies #15 and #16, the church wanted to observe Christmas in a special way. The youth choir did very well on several Christmas carols. I kept one here to preserve the atmosphere (Joy to the World). I wanted this message to be special too. So, being led of God, I used an "Easter" text, puzzling all. You will soon see why I did. I wanted the emphasis to be, not on all the fanfare of Christmas, or Easter, but on the Redeemer who came to save us.
