Sentimentalism• [They] continue to hope that good times and good change will come…but this hope is a false hope that is not grounded in the truth and reality of God…•…when [they] do not see their hopes fulfilled, then they idolize and worship the past, imagining that things were better “back then”…

“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.”Luke 2:10

1. Remember THE GOOD NEWS

2. Receive THE GREAT JOY

'Twas the day after Christmas,When all through the placeThere were arguments and depression-Even Mom had a long face.The stockings hung empty,And the house was a mess;The new clothes didn't fit,And Dad was under stress.The family was irritable,And the children—no one could please;Because the instructions for the swing setWere written in Chinese!

The bells no longer jingled,And no carolers came around;The sink was stacked with

dishes, And the tree was turning brown.The stores were full of peopleReturning things that fizzled and failed,And the shoppers were discouragedBecause everything they'd boughtWas now on a half-price sale!'Twas the day after Christmas—The spirit of joy had disappeared;The only hope on the horizonWas fireworksOn the first day of the New Year!

Conclusion•Kahit anong panahon, Pasko man o hindi, si Hesus ang nakakapagbigay ng tunay na kagalakan laban sa senti na Christ-miss.•He is the only One Who can turn this senti Christ-miss into a cheerful Christ-bliss!
