Phil Beach Jr. emphasizes the importance of choosing between embracing Christ and the commercialized figure of Kris Kringle during the Christmas season. He highlights the need for humility and a right spirit to truly understand the message of Christ, contrasting the genuine humility of the first Christmas with the distractions of modern celebrations. The sermon encourages reflection on the true meaning of Christmas, urging listeners to seek the Spirit of Christ rather than the superficiality associated with Kris Kringle. Beach Jr. calls for a deeper engagement with Scripture to grasp the significance of Christ's birth and its implications for our lives today.

Chuck Smith reflects on the profound irony and tragedy of the birth of Jesus, emphasizing that despite being the Creator of the universe, there was 'no room in the inn' for Him. He highlights the plight of Mary and Joseph, who, while carrying the Son of God, found no place to stay in Bethlehem, illustrating how busy lives and celebrations can overshadow the true meaning of Christmas. The innkeeper, though initially indifferent, ultimately offered them a stable, symbolizing the small sacrifices made for Christ. Smith challenges listeners to consider how they celebrate Christmas and whether they make room for Jesus amidst their holiday preparations.
