Tis the time to rejoice since Christ is come into our world

Tis the time to rejoice since Christ is come into our world

As we read this blog we’ve already celebrated the Nativity of our Lord.  But to those who don’t know or refuse to accept it the world has not allowed their understanding of freedom to be real and they can only find an emptiness that has no peace.  

Imagine for just a moment the many people somewhere on this planet who have yet to hear the Good News that God, the only God for humanity, has chosen humanity to hear his voice through his only Son coming to all of us.  Imagine further, if God had decided to delay this Incarnation of his Son how terrible our world would have been.  The World Wars and all the other skirmishes around the globe might very well have wiped a large portion of human beings off the planet.

No one can really ascertain the plight of humanity without his love which forgives each one of his human creatures.  Look at history and see how far we have come from the time before written history and through all the many eras we’ve come via the industrial age and supersonic planes and medical science that we all enjoy.  None of these advances could have occurred without the hand of God entering the world almost 2,000 years ago.  

There may be some that would argue that just like the Big Bang theory happening from nothing, mankind would have arrived intact in the same manner.  Not so!  Since science knows that something cannot become real from nothing, so the world without the intent of Almighty God in control could not advance to what we have today.  It is the premise of the Far Left that only man can produce what we now enjoy and to what we shall become without God in our future.  

Scientology and the other new-age proponents are going to bring down any beliefs that God-fearing people have if the same people do not stand up and shout that the Incarnation of God’s only begotten Son is the final chapter being written for the ultimate conclusion of our eternal destiny.  This season of Christmas that really never ends should be a wake-up call for all people to fight through faith and constant prayer for the continued traits of Christ  “He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”  (Heb 13: 8).   These words never change and neither should any of us.   

Our world is still in the hands of God and we should never forget that.  It isn’t just the politics of our present world that may be confusing citizens, but the empty churches and the lack of faith with far too many who never gave up until now, in the early years of the 21st century.  One time when people became distraught over many issues, they were told to “Let go and let God.”  Far too many people try to solve many inward problems themselves, and realize that God is the way to at least bear up under the pressures of life that are far beyond us.
