Just as we sing lullabies to our children to put them to sleep, Bob feels that Christians are being rocked to sleep concerning what Christmas is all about. Merchants open their doors early, stay open late. Materialism seems to take the place of the real meaning of the season. The story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19 shares the reason why Jesus came: to seek and save the lost. He came to provide abundant life and to make it possible for us to go to Heaven.
