Do you complain that
all around you is darkness? Then knock a
hole in the darkness, be a light. Be a
star of Bethlehem.
Live in Christ we have all been told and more
than once. What does it mean? Well, it's a little late in the season but go
to the seashore and there conduct an experiment that may make it clear in a way
you have never understood before.
Take with you a bottle with a top that seals
tightly, and as you walk not far from the crashing waves go close enough to
half fill the bottle, screw on the top and then throw it far out to sea.
When you have done so the sea will be in the bottle and the
bottle will be in the sea. So it is when
you truly take the Lord into your heart, soul and mind. You will be with Him and He with you.
One day in New
York an old Indian was walking the crowded streets with a missionary who had
brought him to this great city so he could compare it to the wilderness where
he had always lived. They had traveled
no more than a few blocks when the old Indian suddenly stopped and exclaimed,
“I hear a cricket.” “How is that
possible with all this noise; cars honking, taxis squealing?” asked the
missionary.
The old man did not answer but instead bent
down and began to dig in leaves in a large cement planter. And there was the cricket. Now he explained, “My ears are no different
than yours.
It simply depends on what you are listening
for. Here let me show you what I
mean.” He reached into his pocket and
pulled out a handful of change; a few nickels, some quarters and a single dime. Then he dropped them on the concrete. Every head within a block turned in his direction. “You see,” he continued, “it just depends on
what you are listening for.”
The voice of the
Master is as close as a meaningful prayer.
The fact of His existence and the miracle of His birth and resurrection are
as close as your waiting soul. It just
depends on what you are listening for.
The following is an imagination
story. I am certainly not aware that it
happened, but it might have.
On the day of the Ascension to heaven, as
Jesus moved past the Pearly Gates, He was met by the angel Gabriel. “How went it during your time on earth?” he
asked the Master. “Poorly,” replied
Jesus. “I preached the Love of God and
they responded by nailing me to a cross.”
“Then what did you do to see that your
message would be carried on?” asked Gabriel.
“I chose 12 Disciples and told them to spread
the word of God’s love for all man-kind.”
“But what if they don’t?”
“Then there is no other way. But I know they will. Except for Judas, I know they will. I have no doubts.”
And so it is.
Christ’s faith in us and our faith in Him. And a thousand plus a thousand centuries
of men and women passing on the story of the birth of Christ.
You passing on the story to friends and strangers, or with fear
and trepidation telling no one. Sharing
with no one. Just keeping the wonder of
it all for yourself.
Because Christ was born magnificence is only a prayer away, but not
“if you live forever in the preface of the story without becoming involved.”
(Charles H. Duthie of Edinburgh)
