If Jesus Had Not Come

there would be many a vacant lot where spires now reach toward Heaven. The world's libraries would be noticeably smaller and of poorer selections. Tyrannies would exist where democracies now prevail.

The Bible's message would end with Malachi and the condemnation of the Law with no hope of salvation, no comfort for the bereaved, no word of glorious resurrection, no open door to Heaven—only despair, weeping and sadness.

No single event has left a deeper impression on the soul of man than the indisputable fact of Jesus' birth!

The angelic host said, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

The shepherds heeded the message and went to Bethlehem to see the Christ and found Him lying in a manger. Simeon saw the Christ. Living in the temple, Anna waited for Christ.

Do you see beyond the distractions at Christmas the love of God in Christ? Do you see Christ's sacrifice on the cross for your sins providing a passport to Heaven?

Acts 16:31 invites all to come to Christ:
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
