Christ In Christmas
December 22, 2009
Last night I watched in disbelief as Laura Ingraham, sitting in for Bill O’Reilly on the O’Reilly Factor, interviewed a woman who was speaking on behalf of an organization called Freedom From Religion Foundation. It was really sad. It tore at my heart strings that a person would not only have no belief in God but that she denied herself the blessings of God only because nobody can prove God’s existence. To deny God’s existence when He is all around us is sad.
A reader sent me what follows. I did a little searching and could not find the author. I hope you enjoy it this Christmas season, as a refresher as to not only that we celebrate the birth of Christ but the life he lived and the promises he gave us.
~~~~~~~
He came from the throne of the Father to the womb of a woman. He put on humanity that we might put on divinity. He became Son of Man that we might become sons of God.
He was born in a supernatural way, lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity. He had neither wealth nor influence, yet the wisdom of men has never matched His wisdom. Never has a man spoken like this man.
His family was inconspicuous and uninfluential. In infancy He startled a king. As a boy, He stunned theologians with His knowledge and wisdom for He was taught of God. In manhood, He ruled the elements and quieted the raging sea. He healed the multitudes without medicine. And fed thousands from a boy’s lunch. Even demons obeyed Him and He gave back life to those who died.
He never wrote a book, yet none of the libraries of the world can contain the books that have been written about Him. He never wrote a song, yet He has furnished the theme of more songs than all song writers combined. He never founded a college, yet all the colleges together cannot boast of as many students as He has.
He never marshaled an army, yet no leader has ever had more volunteers. Great men have come and gone yet He lives all. Herod could not kill Him. Satan could not tempt Him to sin. Death could not destroy Him. The grave could not hold Him.
He laid aside His purple robe for a peasant’s gown. He was rich yet for our sakes He became poor. He slept in another’s manger. He rode on another’s donkey. He was buried in another’s grave. He conquered death and rose on the third day as He said He would. He ascended into heaven and is now at the right hand of the throne of God.
One day He will return with power and great glory to judge the world when every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue shall confess Him as Lord. His friends gladly. But enemies seeking for a place to hide
from His face.
He is the perfect one. The only one who can satisfy the soul. He gives everlasting life to those who love Him. He is altogether lovely. But best of all, He is my Savior. Also yours, if you will let him.

Romans {1:25} Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

This is what happens in the absence of belief in the real God — extreme tree huggers create their own. Man always creates gods to replace the real One. Idols, animals, (wolves or predators) rock stars, movie stars, pagan holidays, money…etc. etc.
I made a cool Christmas movie. It is about Christ’s birth, life, death, & resurrection. It’s basically a celebration of His life. May we all remember the real meaning of Christmas this year!
