We took one of our granddaughters to the Christmas Festival at a theme park when she was two. And she loved it! There were lights everywhere, exciting music performances and a great Christmas parade. But there was one thing that impressed her so much, and she talked about it all year long - the Living Nativity. We got to see a portrayal of the angels' appearance to the shepherds, the visit of the Wise Men, and best of all, Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus in the Manger. From that night on through the year, when we would mention that theme park, the first thing she associated with it was "Jesus" no matter what time of year it was. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Christmas - The Search is Over." Our granddaughter thought that Jesus should be all year round. She's right. Some of us think about Jesus mostly on His holidays, like Christmas and Easter. A lot of us think of Him mainly on Sunday at church. But He didn't come to be our holiday Jesus or our church Jesus. He came here to make possible a personal love relationship with Him that gives meaning to every day of our lives; not just to be a belief or a religious compartment in our lives. The event Jesus, the holiday Jesus, the religious Jesus; they're just not enough to forgive your sin, to answer your questions about the meaning of your life, or to get you to heaven someday. You've got to belong to Him every day, not just visit Him occasionally. He told those who belong to Him: "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). And a "never leave you" relationship is the kind of anchor that our soul is looking for. Every other relationship in our life has one thing in common: it's "loseable." People turn on us, they dump us, they disappoint us, they divorce us, and no matter how deep the relationship, they ultimately die on us. That's why we can never really feel safe in this world, until we anchor ourselves to the Savior who said, "He who comes to me I will never cast out." (John 6:37 ) In Matthew 28:20, our word for today from the Word of God, Jesus made the ironclad promise that He alone has the power to keep, "Surely I am with you always." Now, in a world of things and experiences that are never-lasting, Jesus offers the only thing that is ever-lasting. John 3:36 tells us that "whoever believes in the Son (that's Jesus, the Son of God) has eternal life." See, you don't have to die to see if you have eternal life. You have it as soon as you put your trust in Jesus. The verse then gives the alternative: "Whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on Him." We had no chance with God until Jesus came that first Christmas. Until He gave His life on the cross to take the rap for every wrong thing we have ever done. We can't get anywhere near a holy God with our sin. But Jesus allowed God to dump all our sin on Him that day on the cross, so you could be clean, so you could be forgiven, so you could be with Him forever. This Christmas season provides a wonderful time to make the Savior your Savior. He's not just for Christmas, but this Christmas season is a tremendous time to finally experience His love for yourself. Look, if you're ready to make that move, you've already done life without Him and you don't want to do it any more, then I invite you to visit our website. It will help you know if you belong to Him and how you can. It's ANewStory.com. There's a brief explanation of how you know you have a relationship with Him. And you can tell Him right now, "Jesus I'm Yours." And today, move beyond a religion about Jesus - to this love relationship with Jesus. Move from just believing things about Jesus - to really belonging to Jesus.

We preview this weekend's performances of the Carthage Christmas Festival - billed this year as the 150th anniversary festival. We speak with Matthew Hougland and Maggie Burk, co-directors of the festival. They talk about all that goes into coordinating this massive production and talk about some highlights from the program, including an exquisite new work commissioned especially for the occasion. We also hear from Polly Amborn, a Carthage graduate ('89) who is now the conductor of the college's Treble Choir. Polly reminisces about attending the festival more than 40 years and reflects on how the event has changed in the intervening years and what it is like for her to now be a part of it in a very different way from when she was a student at Carthage.

Join AJ, Mike, and Chris for a beloved Disney holiday tradition that goes back much further than you think. Every year since 1994, the Candlelight Processional is performed at Epcot. This moving show features choirs, musicians, and a celebrity narrator. But did you know this show can trace its origins back to Walt Disney and Disneyland's first year? Early Disneyland Days In 1955, Disney initiated the Disney at Christmas Festival, precursor to Candlelight Processional. Dr. Charles C. Hirt of USC suggested expanding the event, leading to the first true Candlelight Processional in 1958. Walt Disney World Transition Candlelight Processional moved to WDW in 1980. Initially in front of Cinderella's Castle, it later shifted to the American Gardens Theater in Epcot. Epcot & Expansion With its popularity, Candlelight Processional became a centerpiece for Epcot's Festival of Holidays, lasting almost a month. Narrated by celebrities, it's known for subtle yearly changes, including song arrangements and choir pieces. Get in touch! Send questions and comments to 90sdisneypodcast@gmail.com.
