We would like to share these thoughts from G B H from 1992, loved him and the message.
Christmas mean giving. The Father gave his Son, and the Son gave his life. Without giving there is no true Christmas, and without sacrifice there is no true worship. There is more to Christmas than neckties, earrings, toys and all the tinseled stuff of which we make so much.
Christmas means the Christ child, the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger while angels sang and wise men traveled far to bring gifts. It is a beautiful and timeless story, and I hope each of us will read it again this season.
Christmas means eternity. As certainly as Christ came into the world, lived among men, laid down his life, and became the first fruits of the resurrection, so through that atonement, all become partakers of immortality. Death will come, but death has been robbed of its sting, and the grave of its victory.
Christmas means compassion and love and, most of all, forgiveness. The lessons of the turning of the other cheek, going the second mile, the return of the prodigal, and scores of other incomparable teachings have filtered down the ages to become the catalyst to bring kindness and mercy out of much of man's inhumanity to man.
Christmas means peace. He whose birth we commemorate this season is more than the symbol of a holiday.He is the Son of God, the creator of the earth, the Jehovah of the Old Testament,the fulfillment of the law of moses, the Redeemer of mankind, the King of kings, the Prince of Peace. Learn of him. Search the scriptures, for they are they which testify of him. Ponder the miracle of his life and mission. Try a little more diligently to follow his example and observe his teachings. Bring the Christ back into Christmas
Merry Christmas Everyone!
