How can Christians properly celebrate Christmas today? Certainly, Christmas trees, gift-giving, family reunions, and many other customs can all be joyful traditions of the season. But Spurgeon would say that the primary way to celebrate Christmas is by faith in the incarnate, crucified, and risen Savior. ThatтАЩs why A Wondrous Mystery exists: amid a busy holiday season, it is meant to be a daily reminder of why we celebrateтАФthat тАЬthe Infinite has become an infantтАЭ and тАЬthe joy of his coming is still in our hearts.тАЭ

Charles H. Spurgeon (1834тАУ1892) was the pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, for thirty-eight years, and his ministry exploded, resulting in the largest evangelical congregation of his day and the founding of 66 parachurch ministries, including a college and orphanage. He is widely regarded as one of the nineteenth century's best preachers, and his sermons have been translated into over forty languages.
