Over 2000 years ago, on Christmas Day, the heavens spoke!

Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord!
In the manger born a king,
While adoring angels sing,

CHRIST CAME FOR US

Until then, the descent of mankind through the ages brought suffering, as we devised new ways to be evil.  Mankind has been devising evil schemes since Cain killed Abel.  From then until now there has been a consistent theme of mankind hurting mankind….from insults to world wars.

When suffering hits us personally, we ask “Why does God not intervene?”  Oh……but He did!

HIS INTERVENTION IS JESUS CHRIST

And now He waits for us to respond……………

THIS IS THE AGE OF GRACE

But soon…..Heaven will speak again and Christ will return to start His endless, global reign.  He is the fulfillment of prophecy and history.

“Unto us a child is born; unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulders.”

J. Sidlow Baxter comments that “already He sits on the throne of universal sovereignty in heaven.  His kingdom rules over all.  The mystery of permitted evil on earth has thereby assumed a new aspect and has almost run its course.  The usurper shall be finally banished, and the now rebellious territory shall rest in warless, tearless quietude beneath His scepter.  It shall certainly be so, for He has really risen; and He really reigns, and He will really return.”

As Tennyson said, “This is the one divine event to which the whole creation moves.”

AS WE CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH, I PRAY THAT WE ARE READY FOR HIS RETURN!

HALLELUJAH AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

(Isaiah 9:6, Titus 2:11-14, John14:3)
