“If
It Had Not Been for Christ”
If this was the title on a Christmas card sent to you
today would it make you think a little more about why we celebrate today,
Christmas Day. I certainly think it shall.
Where would the stockings hung by the fire be?; The
Christmas bells would not ring, the holly and the mistletoe would be hidden,
and possibly gifts not given in such generosity.
There would be no churches, no rules or very few to read
about. People would have no hope when death touches their life. There would be
no chance of ever seeing that person again. The Bible would end at Malachi. Joy
would probably be at the expense of others too.
But there came a day on earth when things changed and
Israel’s hope could be seen and heaven came down to tell us about it too.
O Come All Ye Faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and Behold Him, born the King of Angels,
O come let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.
Let us be glad and rejoice for the Hope, Love and Joy
that Christ brought to our earth. He came bringing good news. To me having that
Saviour of the whole wide world living in my heart is so amazing. He loves me
and He loves you and wants you to know Him too. Talk to Him, ask Him to come
live inside you.
Be thankful you can celebrate Jesus birth where so many
are unable to do this. Bless others with
extra that you have the whole year through.
Remember:
“He comes to make His blessings flow,
Far as the curse is found.
He took the curse for you and He asks you to believe……
Merry Christmas.
