Most people are surprised when significant events interrupt their lives and demand change. Hurricane Harvey dumped 53 inches of rain on Houston in 2017, completely changing people’s lives. Imagine the apprehension that grasped Herod the Great when three strangers told him they were searching for the future Messiah.
Significant events can effectively disrupt old ways of thinking and believing. God sent Jesus to interrupt an old system to make way for something new. Jesus set in motion a new system called the Good News for changing people’s lives. Can celebrating Christmas be life-changing for you? Think about it. Merry Christmas and God bless you.
The wise men listened to the king and then went
on their way, to Bethlehem. And now the star, which they had seen in the east,
went in front of them until at last it shone immediately above the place where
the little child lay. The sight of the star filled them with indescribable joy.
So they went into the house and saw the little child with his mother Mary. And
they fell on their knees and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures
and presented him with gifts – gold, incense and myrrh.
~Matthew 2:9-11 Phillips – New Testament in Modern
English
For God who said, “Let
light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in my heart, to give me
the light of the knowledge of God’s glory, reflected on the face of Christ.
~2 Corinthians 4:6 Williams
– New Testament in the Language of the People
