History’s Greatest Happening

12/17/2013

0 Comments

 
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given..” Isaiah 9:6.

 Some years ago, an American astronaut climbed down a ladder and put his feet on the surface of the moon, and the President of the United States said that was the greatest event in human history.  With all due respect to that President, the greatest event in human history was not when man first put his feet upon the moon but when Almighty God came down and walked upon this earth.  We call that the incarnation and we celebrate it at Christmas.  If you do not understand this event, you don’t have the golden key of all history.

 How sad to know biology, the study of life, and not know Jesus Christ the Giver of life.  How sad to know astronomy, the study of the stars and of the heavens, and not to know Jesus Christ the bright and morning Star and how to go to heaven.  How sad to know geology, the study of rocks and geological ages, and not know Jesus Christ, the Rock of ages.  How sad to know botany, the study of flowers, and not to know Sharon’s sweetest Rose.  How sad to know history from beginning to end and to miss the central event in history, which is the story of Jesus – His story.  A wise man is ignorant, a rich man is poor, and a strong man is weak until he knows the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christmas Blessings are for Sharing

12/11/2013

 It is easy for people to receive blessings and enjoy them for themselves.  Ironically, though, blessings can distract us from God and into ourselves.  But blessings are given to us so that we might produce more fruit.  Blessings are a sign of God’s grace, that is, his goodness to us even though we don’t deserve it, not a reward for good works.  We need to use them in the way that God wants.

Grace is given to us so that we will bear fruit for God and for other people, so that we might help others and become a blessing to others.  Grace enables us to become a conduit of God’s love and grace and blessing to others.

Just as He has loved us, we should also love others.  Just as He has been forgiving toward us, we should be forgiving toward others.  Just as He has been generous with us, we should be generous with others.

Think about how we might use our physical blessings for God’s glory.  We all have spiritual blessings.  We need to think about how God may want us to bear fruit with those, to use them for the common good.

Blessings are wonderful, and as God’s people, we can learn how to share them with others, just as God shares His good gift with us.
