Title: A Christmas message to everyone
Post by: Tom Niebuhr on December 22, 2014, 10:10:01 AM

Millions of people celebrate the birth of the Christ child on December 25th. Even those who don't celebrate him all agree that he has had a tremendous impact on the world. American Newspaper Journalist, Jim Bishop, wrote in his column one Christmas morning something that puts everthing in perspective:

"There was a man born of Jewish parents in an obscure village. He grew up in another obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was 30, and then for 3 years he was an itinerate preacher. He never wrote a book, he never held office, he never owned a home, he never had a family, he never went to college, he never put his foot inside a big city, he never traveled 200 miles from the place where here was born. He never did any of the things that usually accompany greatness. While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away from him. He was turned over to his enemies and went through the mockery of a trial. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property he had, his coat. When he was dead, he was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. All the armies that have ever marched, all of the navies that were ever built, all of the parliaments that ever sat, all of the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon the earth as has this one solitary life."

Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks for that Tom. The good news is that the grave could not hold him and he was seen by many after three days in there. It gives us all hope for those that believe on His name. Amazing Grace. No gift will ever match His free gift.

Thanks for that wonderful message Tom.  I believe he is remembered above all others because his message was LOVE not domination and violence!  It's very good to remember that!

A very merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!
