We regularly hear Christmas Carols like “O Come All Ye Faithful” played in shopping centres and carols service, but often the message of these hymns is ignored. We go through all the celebrations of Christmas, but walk away unchanged. No awe. No gratitude. No repentance. No worship. But as Matthew 2 shows us, Christmas does demand a response: a response of nothing less than total wholehearted worship.
