Prestonwood Baptist Church with their 'Gift of 'Christmas 2025' show, feat. the Little Drummer Boy

Every year in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, men swing a chicken over their heads and believe they are watching their sins fly away. It is painful to watch because it proves how deep the blindness still runs. It shows what happens when people cling to shadows long after the substance has appeared. And it forces us to say what Scripture has already said with terrible clarity. No ritual can save. No animal can carry away guilt. No performance can wash a conscience. No tradition can stand before a holy God. The law itself condemned every drop of blood that was offered upon that altar because it shouted that something greater was coming. Hebrews 10 says that the sacrifices under Moses were a yearly reminder of sin but never its cure. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. That is not my verdict. That is God’s verdict. And if the blood of animals could not cleanse Israel when the temple stood in glory, how can the blood of a chicken cleanse anyone today. The only sacrifice God ever accepted is the one He provided. When Jesus lifted the cup and said this is the new covenant in my blood in Luke 22 He declared that the entire system of shadows had reached its end. Hebrews 9 says without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness, but it also says that Christ entered once for all with His own blood and obtained eternal redemption. Not temporary. Not repeated. Final. When He died, the veil of the temple tore from top to bottom. God Himself ripped open the curtain that separated sinners from His presence and announced in one violent act that the old covenant had served its purpose. No more priests standing daily. No more sacrifices reminding you how guilty you are. No more altars waiting for fresh blood. The Lamb of God has come. The true temple has appeared. John 2 says His body is the real temple. The place where God meets man is no longer a building of stone but the crucified and risen Christ. This is why we must preach the truth to those still trapped in rituals. Not out of arrogance, but out of love. Because a man can stand before God with a hundred ceremonies and still die in his sin. But a sinner who comes to Christ with empty hands will be washed clean. First John 1 says the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Revelation 1 says He loved us and freed us from our sins by His blood. Exodus 12 says when I see the blood I will pass over you. God still sees only one blood. Only one sacrifice. Only one Saviour. And if we remain silent while people chase shadows, we become part of their deception. The apostles did not watch Israel return to the old rituals and stay quiet. They preached with urgency because they knew that no temple can save now. The real temple has already been destroyed and raised again on the third day. There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. So when you see a chicken swung over a head or sins symbolically transferred in the streets, do not mock them. Mourn for them. Pray for them. Speak the truth to them. Because the Judge before whom they must stand will not ask how sincerely they followed their tradition. He will ask whether they are covered by the blood of His Son. Without that blood there is no hope. With that blood there is no condemnation. Everything hangs on Christ. Always has. Always will.
