Christmas time...

Yes, I'm sorry I know its abit early and I'm normally one for saying Christmas stuff should be kept to decemeber...But last night at gospel choir we were practicing our Christmas songs and theres one called 'Peace on Earth' and the chorus goes:Glory to God in the highest,Peace on Earth, Good will to All men, Glory to God in the Highest, Jesus Christ has come to save Us from our Sin

And it just hit me like a lightening blot-How AWESOME is our God...This is what the angels proclaimed on the mountain side to the shepards to announce the birth of Christ. As far as we can tell from Scripture there have been 430 years of silence from God-no more prophets that we know of, his people were in exile and then suddenly(at just the right time) Jesus comes into the world...

If you were speaking to a bunch of people who had turned their backs on you-who kept ignoring what you were telling people to tell them on your behalf...I know I would want some serious words with them...But God does not chose to do that, He choses to pronouce peace and a way back to him that is all done by HIM...He doesn't come with a big stick to tell them off-He tells them He has good news-Ultimately its about Glory to Him (as it should be) but...its GOOD WILL TO ALL MEN...Yes the rebellious lot that haven't been listening...

After 430 years, God has not abanndoned them to their own fate-He has not forgotten them, in His perfect timing-He has not told them off-Hes pronouced Good news...

How loving, merciful and gracious and mighty is our Saviour...Thank you God for Christmas time
