This morning as we approach the celebration of Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior, let us focus upon the question raised in the old familiar Christmas Carol, “What Child is This?” “What child is this who, laid to rest, on Mary's lap, is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is the Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing, haste, haste, to bring him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary!” What child is this? The confusion reigns in our own day! To put it mildly, Christmas is a little bit confusing to the watching world. The apostle Paul's words in our text may help to clear away the clutter and focus us on the greatest reality, “the Christ has come”.
