Christmas Day

It is not the Jesus of history---the man who changed history---who saves us today; it is the Risen Jesus living in us today who changes our history. 

By a simple re-arrangement of molecules in the body, the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, and the mute speak.  We often forget that the Word of God, the Son of God, the exact image of the invisible God, has been sent to us to change our history.  In one moment, our direction is changed and we are set on a new path, the path to God.  In one moment, we are no longer "sinners" or "tax collectors" or "Pharisees," but children of the living God. 

God has sent to us a son, and the government is on His shoulder; He bears our burdens and sins and re-directs our paths.  Each day for us is Christmas Day, as the Savior comes to us.  Each day, our molecules are re-arranged, our history changes, and our life renewed.  Those sitting in darkness see a great light, and their hope is renewed.
