Only because the mighty God has done mighty things

is their good news to tell.

Only because God has saved, does save,

and remains faithful is their worship and praise

and glory and adoration.

[♪ Music playing in the background of the song of the Lord,

Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

Nearly everyone enjoys spending time with family,

exchanging presents, watching favorite holiday movies,

getting into the Christmas spirit.

But the truth is, you can spend hundreds,

even thousands on presents for others,

you can decorate every inch of your home,

you can attend every holiday event in your community,

and still not have the true Christmas spirit.

To make sure you understand what the Christmas spirit is

before the busyness of a holiday begins,

stay here for Grace to you,

as John MacArthur continues his study,

called the best of Christmas.

Here's John now with today's lesson.
