A WORLD WITHOUT CHRISTMAS
Freelance writer Lupie Riley
Thought: What would our lives be like without hope for a better world to come? If God had not had the love and compassion for his Created in sending Jesus, all would be lost. Humanity would be left to Satan's whims who would play us like pawns on a chessboard. We know the Evil One's purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. We witness his deeds everyday with the aid of modern technology. The destruction in war's he brings upon nations leaves nothing but rubble, ashes and death. With his helpers greed, hate, rape and kill he accomplishes his goals.

But light came into the world that miraculous evening in a lowly Bethlehem stable. The God-man's head rested upon a mound of hay the night of his humble birth when time itself started over again. The newborn baby Jesus brought Salvation and hope of eternal life for whomsoever believeth in Him. He offers the priceless gift of forgiveness and immortality when we receive him into our life as Savior and coming King. The world would indeed be a dark place without CHRIST-mas. Be sure you greet your friends, relatives and strangers with a heart felt MERRY CHRISTMAS this year. Maranatha

Prayer: Father God, I would not like to think of the world I would be living in without CHRIST-mas. He is the light of my life. He took all my sins upon his human body that was sacrificed on the cross and set me free from Satan's bondage. As we walk together I have CHRIST-mas with me throughout the whole year. Amen

Verse: John 3:16 KJ "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. "
