MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

We are approaching one of the two holidays celebrated around the globe that commemorate Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas marking his birth is fast approaching. While the date is debated,this event is celebrated world-wide. Yes, there are some that do not observe his birth.

However the majority of the planet does in one way or another. And yes, many who celebrate the holiday give no thought to what it stands for. But they do observe it!

One man, born several thousand years ago in a little town in a small Middle Eastern nation somehow impacted history, cultures and practices throughout the entire world! And though he did not come to start a new religion, yet there are billions of people on this planet who acknowledge him in their religion no matter what that religion is!

Even though there is a movement these days to cancel Jesus we might want to take a bit of time and remember that he is the reason for the Christmas Season. Since his birth Jesus has always frightened governments. From the time of his birth they have tried to cancel him but it has not worked for two thousand years and it never will! In addition, in spite of the hatred shown against him, his message is still one of peace and love. His prayer is still “Father. Forgive them. They don't know what they are doing.” And as has been said, “Wise men still worship him!”
