“Christmas" (Written in 2015 - by Norm Russell of the North Bend Church of Christ)

Tomorrow is Christmas Day. We rejoice because people do take the time to reflect on the person of Jesus Christ. I know there are many in our world who are driven by political correctness that want to avoid any mention of Jesus during this time as some find that to be offensive. I have nothing to say to that.

When Mary gave birth to Jesus, it was a difficult time for the nation of Israel. There was political dominance by Rome, there was a huge gap between the "have’s" and "have nots." Spiritually, the people had become ignorant of God because many of the leaders would not open the Bible up to teach it to those on the streets. However, in spite of what was taking place around them, it was time for Jesus to make an appearance. The Bible says in Galatians 4:4 “In the fullness of time.” It was the right time determined by God. He did not allow anything to interfere with it. Jesus’ arrival would change the course of human events forever. More personally God coming to our world has had a profound effect on each of us. I thank God He came. Because He did so, I have a hope of eternal life in His presence. How about you? Where are you going to spend eternity?

Come worship with us Sunday, and remember: EVERYONE is welcome here.
