CALL AIM 877-205-2968 Christmas—the message and the miracle For a multitude of people, Christmas is the magical date on the calendar. Think of it, celebration, gifts, family gatherings, food, frolic, and more! These items are not indiscriminately dismissed- —but there are much more important elements to the historic commemoration of Christmas. There is a distinct message that is conveyed to ’’all with ears”. While we may reduce the entire affair to choice definitions, the anatomy of Christmas embodies an array of pleasantries. Contrasting the numer ous dimensions of earthly philosophy, Christmas is safely shrouded in the ’’vi brant personality of Jesus Christ, the Only begotten Son of God”—The Omnipo tent Creator of the universe! Most every philosophical whim has recognized the imperativeness of the nam ing and subsequent dispatch of a distinct personalty. Unlike the emissaries of an adversarial ’’shopping list” containing hate, disarray, and indiscretion; the inspiring mes sage of Christ, and Christmas, is that of hope, se curity, and virtue. It is one of love, of mirth, and joy. It is a message of progressiveness and assurance. It is one of momen tum and moral ity. While abstract followings spend an inordinate amount of time in the dismantling and destruction of sound and sensible process—Christ mas, with an impressive en tourage of lights, decor, gifts, and melody, both suggests (and conveys), a patent practicality. The message of salvation and eternal life is clear. In validation of the Message, is the accompany ing miracle. No other ’’Saviour or Redeemer” was birthed in a Miracle. The catalogue of sup posed candidates does not contain even one who has battled death, hell, and the grave- -emerging victoriously. All heroes of opposing religious propositions, died and remain in des ignated sepulchres. Only the Christ of Christmas defeated the enemy, in a ’’Miracle” that still astounds all humanity. In perpetua tion of the Miracle, is the life changing aspects of those who choose to embrace the One who lives. Millions who were steeped in immorality and sin, have been changed in an instant, and present viable testimony to a Miracle of transformation. No other formula or format offers the equation of righteous ness. The Christ of Christ mas stands alone—the sole progenitor of faith and favor. The Miracle experienced by countless throngs, lends indelible proof of the purity and power of the Christmas Message. Centuries of time have been relinquished to history- —and proponents of abstract theology continue to dis credit the only promise of a better world. The spirit of Christmas, with its message and Miracle, remains in sway for those who desire abun dant life. May your Christ mas speak the language of life, love, and liberty.
