2016 Christmas Music Marathon - Day 27

Nothing changes the dynamics of a family quite like a newborn. The family anxiously waits the birth then the discussion begins regarding who the child most resembles. There are tears of joy from the parents and grand parents. Everyone is looking forward to holding the baby and wondering what life's journey holds for this new arrival. The world had been waiting for centuries for the arrival of the promised Messiah. God chose to enter this world as a baby. A baby who was created in the image of His Father. A baby whose journey would end at the cross and complete the sacrifice for the sin of this world.
When we acknowledge our sinful state, admit that we are in need of a Savior, call upon the name of Christ to save us, and invite Him to live in us, we experience the new birth. Indeed, on a cold night, in a manger in the city of David, "A Baby Changes Everything." Have a blessed day.

2014 Christmas Music Marathon - Day 14




If you were told that you had the power to save the world, how would you accomplish that feat?  Would you think only of this place, in this time or would you give consideration to eternal things and how people might live in paradise forever?  Would you mount up on a white stallion, leading a legion of warriors across the land to subdue each nation and people individually?  How would you save this world?  Would you do it by bringing a child into this earth?
The Bible tells us that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but will be saved.  Every person ever born on planet earth has had the opportunity to spend eternity in paradise through faith in the Creator.
Every family is changed when a newborn babe arrives.  Schedules are altered, lives are changed and love flows from parents to child.  It is true, a baby changes everything.  But when you think about saving the world a baby seems to be a strange way to accomplish that task.  Remember God tells us that His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.  That's why faith is required.  Our finite minds cannot comprehend all that God is capable of doing nor the ways that He accomplishes His will.  Have a blessed day.
