Good Morning Champion
-I recently wrote an opening media speech for our Christmas Spectacular,
thought it might be a fitting thought for this Christmas Eve.-
In the beginning God! It was He and He alone who fashioned and made the
endless universe that ever amazes us, the one scientists endeavour to
explore. It is He that set the stars in space and formed vast constellations
by His spoken word, both those discovered and those not yet seen by human
eyes or the most powerful telescopes.
Of all the stars and planets, one was His delight. One planet was, and is,
constantly on His mind and in His heart. This planet is Earth. In
comparison to others it is very small, seemingly insignificant, lost in a
vast universe made up of far larger stars and planets. What was it about
this planet "Earth" that made God do something so love-inspired so very,
very sacrificial?
What was it about this planet that would stir the Author of Creation so
passionately, that He would send His only Son to it? To be born on that very
first Christmas morn in a nation called Israel? The answer is simple, it was
not "what" but "who". It was the inhabitants, the people who live on the
Earth and who call it home. Those who were made by Him, fashioned for
friendship. These are not the product of an explosion or evolution but the
very creation of God, fuelled by desire. He sent His son, Jesus, born in a
manger, to save and restore those who once lived, and today live, on the
earth.
Did the Author of Creation, the very Alpha and Omega of all things send His
Only Son on this divine seek and save mission for a certain tribe or
particular nation? The Bible says "no", He came to seek and save those who
were lost, independent of their tribe, nationality or culture. Jesus was
God's messenger and Saviour, sent for all.
Jesus, God's only son, left heaven and came to earth, with one purpose; to
repair the relationship between man and God. To do this He would have to
make a payment for the sin that man had committed, for the sin that had
separated mankind from its very designer. This payment would not be Gold,
silver or rubies or any of the other commodities that we consider of worth,
rather that which was of more worth than all his own life. He, God's only
Son, would come to this planet called earth to turn the hearts of man back
to their God. He would not come carrying a banner of law and religion,
rather carrying an invitation from the creator to believe in Him and receive
forgiveness and restoration.
2000 years ago He arrived; not to affect one nation or continent but to
touch the hearts of those who lived in every place. The baby born in the
manager is God's gift to the whole world! Let us travel around the
continents tonight to celebrate that gift, the very reason for this season
– Jesus!
God Bless
Andy
