Discover the Humbling Power of Christmas
11/22/2006 8:30:36 PM

A nasty man is barking orders to his guards. He feels threatened by the whispers ... of someone new coming to take his place and he wants to ensure this imposter gets caught. So he tells his men to nab him when he arrives.

He will be easy to identify since he will be a man of great affluence and influence. So his men station themselves all around the city, looking for a well-dressed man, but they see no such man.

When God sent His Son into this world, the "important" people didn't recognize him.

The lowly way Christ came into this world ... no fancy clothes, no hoopla of any kind. A bed of hay, Angels announced his birth, and only a few shepherds were awake to hear the news.

RE-DISCOVER THE HUMBLING POWER OF CHRISTMAS

Many people today have the "nasty" man's values. They are impressed by fame and fortune.

Do you really think God prefer's great entrances with all the garbage that goes along with it?

The point is that Jesus ~~ took the low road into this world. To teach us that the way to greatness starts when we lay down our reputations, humble ourselves, and become servants.

I pray we all find a place to "Fall on Our Knees" and discover once again the humbling power of Christmas!

Have a Happy Christmas Season!       "JJ"

    Thank you very much, that is the way to greatness, just like Jesus did it, not like Nicodemus.  Phil. 2:3 would settle so many things today we could even have peace.
Thank you again.
Have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Blessings on you
