In this special Christmas message from the Bible Mysteries Podcast, Scott Mitchell addresses the biblical meaning of Christ’s birth and corrects many of the assumptions that surround the modern celebration of Christmas. Scripture reveals that Jesus did not come to establish immediate peace on earth, but to make peace between God and men through His sacrificial death.
As another year closes and Christ has not yet returned, believers are reminded that we are living in the last days and are called to love His appearing. Jesus first came in humility—born in a manger, despised and rejected. He will appear again in majesty, power, and judgment to establish His kingdom and bring true peace to the earth.
This message carefully examines the biblical accounts in Matthew and Luke, clarifying common misunderstandings about the Nativity, the timing of the wise men, and the meaning behind their gifts. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh declare Jesus as King, High Priest, and Prophet, pointing directly to His suffering and death on the cross.
Scott also explains what “peace on earth” truly means according to Scripture—not peace among nations, but reconciliation between God and sinners through Jesus Christ. Salvation is offered freely by grace, not by works, and every person must choose whether to accept that peace now or face God’s coming judgment.
This Christmas message closes with a clear gospel call and an encouragement to be certain of your salvation, to live as an ambassador for Christ, and to look forward to His return.

Merry Christmas, and may the coming year find you secure in Christ and longing for His appearing.
