A CHRISTMAS CARD FOR YOU
FROM
KEN AND DOTTIE PHILLIPS
What a thrill it is for us to come to you each day with TODAY'S WORD. Today we want to remind you that this is Christmas week and in just four days we will be celebrating Christmas, the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. We are told much about the birth of Jesus in Luke 2.
JESUS was born in a manger, because there was no room in the Inn.
JESUS was born in Bethlehem because He was of the house and lineage of David as prophesied in the Old Testament.
The angel spoke first to the shepherds who were tending their sheep in the fields about the birth of JESUS.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly host praising God and saying:
“GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE GOODWILL TOWARD MEN.”
Our family (Six children and spouses and 20 grandchildren and spouses) want you to remember that:
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
Many will celebrate the birthday of Jesus by singing carols about Him and giving gifts in remembrance of Him, but never reflect on His life and the sacrifice He made for each one of us. As you read this well-known poem by James Allan Francis may your heart be blessed as you reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made for you.
ONE SOLITARY LIFE!
He was born in an obscure villageThe child of a peasant woman
He grew up in another obscure village
Where he worked in a carpenter shop
Until he was thirty when public opinion turned against him
He never wrote a book
He never held an office
He never went to college
He never visited a big city
He never traveled more than two hundred miles
From the place where he was born
He did none of the things
Usually associated with greatness
He had no credentials but himself
He was only thirty three
His friends ran away
One of them denied him
He was turned over to his enemies
And went through the mockery of a trial
He was nailed to a cross between two thieves
While dying, his executioners gambled for his clothing
The only property he had on earth
When he was dead
He was laid in a borrowed grave
Through the pity of a friend
Nineteen centuries have come and gone
And today Jesus is the central figure of the human race
And the leader of mankind's progress
All the armies that have ever marched
All the navies that have ever sailed
All the parliaments that have ever sat
All the kings that ever reigned put together
Have not affected the life of mankind on earth
As powerfully as that one solitary life
