Well it has started already,for such a secular society,the Christmas season comes in very early,now of course I rejoice in the meaning of Christmas ,the birth of Jesus,as indeed every Christian does. So what can we say about the other things?,well I do hope that inspite of father Christmas,the lights,and dreaming of a white Christmas,and the eating and drinking,and the presents,and cards, and the season to be jolly,that even a few shepherds, and wise men will find the Saviour. It is the same every year as a preacher one seeks to tell people reason for the season, although one feels like a voice crying in the wilderness. Yet people did leave their home comforts and go to John, to hear this firebrand of a preacher,who challenged them to forsake their sins,and prepare for the Lords coming. His strongest words where for the very religous people,religous people can act in the most unloving manner, our Saviour was most severely against them.So often religion gets in the way of the truth, and of knowing Him who is the truth,even Jesus, but then so manypeople have so many things that do get in the way ,with the result Christmas comes and Christmas goes,without a true encounter with Jesus.
A prayer....../Dear God grant that peoples eyes will be open, and that their hearts will be open to recieve Christ, Amen /
