The True Financial Meaning of Christmas

What is your true financial motivation during Christmas?

More episodes >>

Bob and Shawn discuss meaningful, financial giving recommendations on this episode, including Donor Advised Funds, donating to a food bank, or giving coats to a homeless shelter. Unfortunately, for many, consumerism and materialism has become the true meaning of Christmas. Instead of celebrating the birth of our Lord through giving, Christmas has turned into a time of financial stress and burdens. Instead, it should be a time of peace and joy as God intended it to be.

Has the true meaning of Christmas been hijacked by Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? Or, are you still seeing the true meaning while still enjoying giving to friends and family, giving to charities, and supporting the poor? It’s time for America to again find the true financial meaning of Christmas where it’s truly about joy, meaningful giving and the gift of God’s son.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

[INTRODUCTION]

Welcome to “Christian Financial Perspectives”, where you’re invited to gain insight, wisdom and knowledge about how Christians integrate their faith, life and finances with a Biblical Worldview. Here’s your host Christian Investment Advisor, Financial Planner, and Coach, Bob Barber.

[EPISODE]

Bob:

Well, hello, Shawn. Here we are just a couple weeks away, a week away, from Christmas.

Shawn:

About a week, about 10 days.

Bob:

I can’t believe it. I’ll tell you. Time goes by so fast. Next year, we’re gonna be going into 2022. I remember when it turned to the year 2000, and now we’re going 22 years later. So we got three twos in next year.

Shawn:

Thankfully, this next year coming up is not the year 2000 where all of our computers stopped working and all of technology and planes crash to the ground cause they couldn’t fly anymore. So thankfully, that won’t happen. Well, we’re not planning on that for next year.

Bob:

My wife can tell you in the year 2000, that’s when we were living out on 10 acres on the east side of 35 here in New Braunfels, and we had a little mini farm, and that very night at about right at midnight, I went all the way out to the edge of our property, where you can turn the breaker on and off and it turned off everything. So at midnight I snuck out there and flipped the breaker, everything went off and I go, there it is. everything’s gone.

Shawn:

All right, I’m gonna have to ask Jenna to verify if she remembers that.

Bob:

Girls were all screaming like, oh. So welcome to 104th podcast. And as always, Bob has a tendency, which is me, to pick hard subjects, but this is a subject I think really needs to be talked about. We talk about the true meaning of Christmas in the Christian community a lot. We understand what the true meaning of Christmas is. It’s about the birth of our savior. It’s not about consumerism, but today we’re gonna talk about the true, financial meaning of Christmas. And the scripture I picked – lo and behold – I go to my Bible app today and that was the scripture, the one that I picked today. Yeah. And I picked this several days ago before I put the podcast together. So I think it’s interesting during this Christmas season that that scripture is the scripture today. And this is one I picked and it’s from Matthew 6:19-21 says, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moths and vermin do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also. That’s a good scripture. It’s a good one, always, when it comes to finances for anyone to read. I saw a quote when I was researching today’s subject talking about the true financial meaning of Christmas is that Americans have commercialized Christmas and worry way too much about what to get for others, spending money, and what they desire for themselves, where Christmas should be about the birth of Jesus, giving to charity and the less fortunate. So, , I’ll put you on a spot a little bit here, but I told you I’ll be asking you this. Okay. And it’s kind of the easy question, but what is that true meaning of Christmas?

Shawn:

Well obviously, we’ll get into a little more details on this later, but when it comes down to what is the true meaning Christmas. It’s about the fact that God sent his only son to this earth to die for our sins, to pave a way back for us to not just be redeemed from our sins, but to be adopted into God’s family, because Jesus was the only one that could do that. And so Christmas, of course, is a celebration of when Jesus was born. So, it’s kind of the start of that part of the story. And then obviously, Easter is a whole other topic.

Bob:

And sometimes I wonder, I mean, we celebrate Easter, but it seems like Christmas is so much more celebrated here in America. Maybe that is because of consumerism, where Easter’s not. Easter’s really the biggest celebration.

Shawn:

It really is. I mean, the birth of Jesus is the culmination of so many years. I mean, if I remember correctly, I apologize to any Bible scholars if I get it wrong, but I believe it was about 400 years from the last book of the Old Testament -The last time God had spoke through a prophet – and it was about 400 years from the last prophet that God had on earth until the birth of Jesus. And so, I know looking back at the history, like the Israelites had been, basically, it seemed like God was silent.

Bob:

400 years is a long time.

Shawn:

A long time. It’s a long time. Yeah. I mean, our country is not very old, like maybe for other countries that 400 years isn’t that long when they have thousands of years of history. But especially for us in United States, 400 years is long time . Yeah. But what was really interesting was my pastor actually, this past Sunday, he talked about how, and it wasn’t necessarily exactly for this purpose, but it about how just because God seems to be silent doesn’t mean that he’s not active. It doesn’t mean that he’s not hearing you. And it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a plan that he’s enacting. And so, after 400 years of silence, the reason why Christmas is so impactful and meaningful is it’s because all of these promises that God had made about birth of a Virgin, the birth of the savior would be through a Virgin birth, and all of these things. And so you start all of a sudden having all of these promises fulfilled exactly as God said that they would be fulfilled. And then throughout the rest of Jesus’ life, all of these prophecies that come true, but that birth, right then, it’s like all of these things coming true. And all of a sudden God went from seeming like he was silent and distant to I told you I had a plan. I’m doing it.

Bob:

I thin
