Bah Humbug: Remembering Life Before Christ | Rev. Wil Cantrell
Episode 531
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025
Isaiah prophesied a Messiah hundreds of years before the coming of Christ. Yet the hope for a Messiah endured through the centuries, and when Jesus came, He transformed the world and human society to an almost unimaginable degree. To understand Christmas, it is important for us to remember how different our world was before Jesus came into it—and how different our lives were before Jesus transformed them. In the character of Scrooge, we remember both the stingy Scrooge and the redeemed, generous Scrooge. If we forget how God has redeemed us (and our world), we will be tempted to base our lives on our own abilities rather than on God's presence and power. Scripture - Isaiah 7:14; 9:6–7
