They believe Christ can change lives, and that is why they fear
to knock. They don’t want to be
changed. Ask them then how they live,
and if they will be honest they will say, “I run with the pack, drift with the
tide, believe in nothing even enough to make up my own mind.” Ask them what they stand for, and if they are
honest they will say, “I stand for nothing, therefore, I never have to stand up
for anything.”
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation, the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.”
One day in eastern Colorado , a man watched a little girl pull a
small yellow wagon to the corner of a fence that paralleled the highway and the
railroad. She climbed upon the wagon and
anxiously scanned the horizon. “What are
you doing?” asked the man. “My little
brother has infantile paralysis and he can’t stand without my help. And he loves trains…oh, how he loves
trains.” Just then, the hoarse, deep
whistle of the streamliner, The City of Denver, could be heard in the
distance. The little girl went into
action.
Raising her little brother to a standing position against the
solid fence in front of him she placed her head against the small of his back
and held him there, his little head protruding just above the fence so he could
see the approaching train. When the
train had passed, she gently lowered him back down into the wagon.
“Honey,” the man exclaimed, “You didn’t get
to see the train at all.” She looked at
him with that look reserved for someone who just doesn’t understand, and said,
“I saw it before he got sick.”
Because Christ was born little girls think of little brothers before
themselves. And compassion is seen as a
strength and not a weakness. And love is
made more important than hate.
I talked with a man the other day who said he
had been a member of his church for 28 years, but last year was the first time
he had ever taken Christ home with him.
He had invited the minister for dinner, had church officers meet in his
living room, served the Young People on his patio, but never Christ…. never
Christ.
Because Christ was born life down through the ages has become one
series of miracles after the other.
Discouraged folks have cheered up, sour folks have sweetened up, closed
folks have opened up, gossipers have shut up, conflicted folks have made up,
lukewarm folks have fired up and pew potatoes have stood up. (Rick Kirchoff, Memphis Methodist Annual
Conference)
Once upon a time there was a birth in Bethlehem , and his name
was Jesus and his timeless gift to man was an eternal guarantee of love and
forgiveness. “Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.”
The church was not our idea or any of our ancestors idea. It was God’s idea. “Upon this rock I will build my church.” Jesus said this of the faith of Peter, and He
says it to you and me.
