I often wonder if Jesus had been born tonight what the world's reaction would be-Would they know Jesus?
-Would the angels appear on CNN or Fox News and declare the wonderful proclaimation that the Chirst child was about to be born?
-Would three astrologists or scientists travel from the east following a star to find the house where the child was? And would it take them 24 months or just a matter of hours with a GPS, helicopter, or vertical jet?
-Would anyone believe the story that a virgin could be impregnated by the Holy Spirit or would the Daily Globe say it was an alien?
-Would the gifts brought to the Christ child be stocks, bonds, and money market accounts?
All of this sounds kind of strange doesn't it? And yes, it would be hard to believe even for us today.
Yet some people still have a hard time accepting Jesus in the greatest love story ever told. The love story that God had for mankind for all of eternity. He loved us so much that His only begotten son took on the form of flesh in the poorest of conditions to come and live among us. His only purpose was to bridge the gap that existed between us and eternity with Him and He successfully did just that.
The Christmas story of Matthew and Luke is still real today. I know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I asked HIm to come into my heart and He did. It's not fiction-it is real. And on this Christmas Eve I'm glad I know Him. How about you? Do you know Jesus?
