In “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Charlie Brown struggles with the overwhelming commercialization of the holiday he loves. His attempt to direct a Christmas play that highlights the ‘true meaning’ of Christmas seems doomed to fail. But when all hope feels lost, Linus reminds everyone that the beauty and joy of Christmas isn’t found in things, toys, or clothes–it’s in the glorious news that Jesus Christ came to save sinners. This Christmas, may we worship, rest, and rejoice in the truth that God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son for us.
