1st Sunday After Christmas; DESPOTS, Luke 2:29-32

Merry Christmas Family!

It’s still Christmas in the Christian Church. There are literally 12 Days of Christmas beginning December 25 through January 5. January 6 begins the season of Epiphany in the Christian Church. If you want to know what the song The Twelve Days of Christmas means with each of the day’s representative symbols, let me know. I’ll send you an article on it.

Today’s message for Christmas focuses on despots, despotism, and despotic authoritarian rule. This hardly seems like a Christmas message, especially given some of history’s most horrific despots: Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong-Il. Nevertheless, Simeon’s Song from Luke 2 deals with despots, and is surprisingly very applicable to our lives today.
