Gospel peace and joy are not necessarily tranquility or happiness in very situation. Christ models for us how to rejoice in God and find peace even in circumstances where what we naturally feel is great turmoil and agony.

Whereas we tend to think of peace as just one of many fruits of the Spirit, it is in fact central and foundational to the gospel itself. The gospel is described as the gospel of peace, and this peace is said to exceed our ability to understand it, not just experientially, but doctrinally. This is because biblical peace gathers up every blessing of God’s presence, and in fact is shorthand for heaven itself.

Our deceitful flesh would have us treat repentance as one-and-done, or at best intermittent. But unless we are continually working at it, we are in grave danger.

To live in repentance, our reason must rule over our appetites. But this is only possible if we become men with chests, ordering our affections and passions toward the true and the good and the beautiful, so that they in turn can rule over our animal desires.

Since we should be celebrating Christmas, the question is how. Are the forms of our celebration good? What spiritual patterns do they embody? We examine the scriptural symbolism of gift-giving and Christmas trees, to show that they are indeed good forms of liturgical practice that involve us in the incarnation of Christ.

Since Christ is Lord over time as well as space, and the church is authorized to act on his behalf to establish his reign on earth, it is our responsibility to determine the liturgical times and seasons to observe. The church throughout history has included Christmas in this.

Because sacrifice is built into creation, we are always living sacrificially. But what are we giving up, and to what? Christians are called to live in a way that puts the right things in the right places, and gives up the right things in the right way. This can only be done by placing God in his proper place.
