Baby Jesus comes to
Jasper in time for Christ
mas Eve as Marla Renner
inspiringly lays him in his
cradle at the community’s
Nativity Scene she helped
fund at the courthouse,
(shown right).
The baby Jesus had not
originally been put in the
manger when the Nativity
was set up as Renner
planned on adding the
Christ figure closer to
Christmas Eve.
For Christians, the birth
of Jesus is told in the Bibli
cal Gospel of Luke 2:11
“Today in the City of David
a Savior has been born to
you. He is Christ the Lord.

Jesus Came to
Prepare His Bride

Rev. Tony Elder
Today is my parents’
sixty-seventh wedding
anniversary. I had a hard
time finding a good card
this year to fully express
my gratitude to them and
to express my heartfelt
sentiments of congratula
tions.
So I settled for a light
hearted one instead that
might provide them with
a little laugh. I’m giving
them one of those simple
cards with a familiar mes
sage you’ve probably
seen. It says, “Happy An
niversary to you and your
better half.”

A Christmas Message
“God chose the lowly things of
this world and the despised
things—and the things that
are not—to nullify the things
that are, so that no one may
boast before him. ”
1 Corinthians 1:28-29 NIV
W hat is the message we should
send to loved ones at
Christmas? Perhaps we
should take our cue from the
message God was sending to us in
sending His son Jesus. That the
savior of the world came to us as a
helpless baby, born in a stable to
parents who were travelers without a
place to stay and in dire
circumstances speaks volumes. The
message that God appears to be
sending in the circumstances of
Christ’s humble birth is that God
cares about the lowly and that no
matter how humble the
circumstances, we can live a godly
life. Remember that wise men came
to offer gifts to this humble, helpless
child. God chose the humble and
lowly things of this world to
demonstrate his love for all of
mankind. And it’s not as if God has
any animosity for the rich or famous;
it’s just that the rich and famous
shouldn’t think they are somehow
more important in the grand scheme
of things than the poor unknowns
who make up the vast majority of the
people who have ever lived. Perhaps
the Christmas message is simply that
God cares for all of us, but that there
is a special place in his heart for the
lowly and downtrodden.
