Today’s Thought O Holy Night G. Ward

“And to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.”

1 Thessalonians 1:10

This season fails miserably in the portrayal of Christmas. Our Americanism insists on the expression, “Merry Christmas” vs. “Happy Holidays” as a substitution for the promulgation of who Jesus is. Furthermore, we’re terribly embittered at what society permits, particularly as the obliteration of what was regarded as common (expressions) diminishes. Our castigations pompously suggest we had nothing to do with the political hyperbole unbelievers raise, when in actuality it’s very much our fault. Our message of reconciliation (i.e. the gospel), is by far the best. So why are we failing to deliver it? It’s probably due to our common expression; lazy and un-thoughtful, while insatiably singing, “I Know My Redeemer Lives…” Happy Wednesday!
