The most obvious logic error made in regard to the season celebrating Christ's birth of course is the fact that He ever more lives in heaven and is coming again to judge the earth. This fact is acknowledged by some but certainly not embraced-as we see in regard to attitudes about Him coming (especially if that were to wreck our holiday plans).
We can read passages like Psalm 8:2 describing children having great power in the Kingdom and certainly the Lord Himself shows victory over His enemies.
Should we take a frank investigation of the narrative of the Gospels regarding Christ's appearance on earth we see the persecution prophesied of ( Matthew 2:18 referring to Jeremiah 31 on the persecution of Herod). This shows the extermination of all the males under two in a fanatical attempt inspired no doubt from Satan to eliminate the One who would bring defeat to the enemy of our souls. We can extend this further to the event when Christ was 12 and "talked back" to his parents; as well as other things that rock our world with someone we assume came to bring peace without a price. Indeed He IS the Prince of Peace but also warned that He didn't come specifically and only for that reason ( Matt. 10:34).
Of course in terms of rife materialism we see that Christ chose to live as what we would call a nomadic existence and called for the same of His Disciples. We CAN say that the wise men sent expensive gifts and this no doubt was due to the worship due to the King which His own people by and large failed to grasp.
In general things are rapidly accelerating on the world scene to the stage set in Daniel and Revelation for the final 10 Kings in the Beast system. The earth trembles in ever increasing earthquakes and violence of war and other disputes. May our hearts not be divided between love for this world and treasures in heaven we are to seek above anything else.
Let us redeem the time because the days are evil; and testify the reason for the season.
