Love The BABY
-or-
Hate The Judge
“They fell down and worshipped him
And opened their treasures
And offered him gifts.”
Matthew 2:11
“And the nations were angry,
And thy wrath is come,
And the time of the dead,
that they should be judged.”
Revelation 11:18
There are lots of 'AND’s' about Christ at Christmas.
AND’s of good will among men, AND’s of joy,
and AND’s of giving to others, all because of a baby in manager
who brought the promise of Love and Peace to all on earth.
The baby Jesus in a manager is a comforting scene - as it should be -
but more importantly when Christ came into the world He came with a promise and
hope proclaiming, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear”
of a message of rescue for all that would listen would be saved —
just as long as they would LISTEN TO HIM.
However the Bible says that there will come a time when those that
refused to listen will stand before him, and they will be angry and
regretful that they did NOT listen — but by that time it will be too late.
The Bible clearly says that God takes not pleasure in the death
of people and their loss of life (that is, life eternal.) Rather He desires
that ALL be SAVED and NONE be LOST, yet even so there are many that not only
do not hear but REFUSE TO HEAR with their ears but also refuse to
“..see with their eyes” (Acts 28:27)
Friend, it is easy to love the baby, but a tragedy to refute the judge because
the “Time Of The Dead That They Should Be Judged”
Need Not Come To ANYONE.
Will you LOVE the BABY
or
HATE the JUDGE?
That choice, as always, is up to you.
