During this time of year a lot of folks get hung up on the use of the term “Xmas.” Most think of it as the world trying to take Christ out of Christmas.

We are living at a time in history when the news media and most government and public sectors would like to see Jesus completely eradicated. But this is just a pipe-dream for them because it will never be. You may take Jesus out of the public eye but you cannot remove Jesus from the heart. The question is, “Is it ok to use “Xmas” in place of Christmas. Theologically, linguistically,  and historically the answer is yes. I have always known the “X” to stand for the Greek letter “Chi”. Chi is the first letter of the name of Christ in the Greek language which is the language that most of the New testament was written in.
