Because Christmas is both a Christian and non-Christian holiday, it has become a focal point in the escalating assault on Christianity and its expression in the public arena. From Christian displays on public property to the use of the word "Christmas" in stores and other businesses, cultural forces are strategically arrayed against the Christian faith. On the one hand, religious pluralism acts to neutralize the uniqueness of the Christian faith, making it merely one religion among many. On the other hand, secularism has its goal in the elimination of Christianity (as all religious faith) from every social and cultural context. Christians are rightly concerned about these trends, but most often their concern - and so also the ways they express and act upon it - are grievously misdirected. The great enemy of Christ and His gospel isn't religious pluralism or secularism, but the Church's loss of its own identity and calling in relation to Jesus Christ and His redemptive accomplishment. This sermon considers Jesus' question: "Who do you say that I am?" and seeks to show that His words, understood in the context of his interaction with His own generation, highlight a profoundly important truth that is missed by many who profess His name.
