HELLO! CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO YOU MY FRIENDS!!
Now that we are in the midst of the thawing out and resuming life as we (used to) know it, I'd like to share this story with you today, it seems 100 percent fitting for Christmas eve:
(Before I begin, let me mention that there are -0- days left until Christmas day. This is it, a few more hours and we're there. I hope you enjoyed the ride! I sure did and I'm so glad you joined me! Let's carry on now with the story:)
During the Christmas season of 1879, a man who neither affirmed, nor denied the existance of God, (an agnostic), was in the city of Boston and noticed three little girls standing in front of a store window full of toys. One of them was blind. He heard the other two describing the toys to their friend. He had never considered how difficult it was to explain to someone without sight what something looks like. That incident became the basis for a news story.
Two weeks later the reporter attended a meeting held by Dwight L. Moody. His purpose was to catch the evangelist in an inconsistency. He was surprised when Moody used his account of the children to illustrate a truth. "Just as the blind girl couldn't visualize the toys," said Moody, " so an unsaved person can't see Christ in all His glory."
On that first Christmas, only a few people understood who He really was. Many heard the report of the shepherds and were amazed, but they didn't view the baby in the manger as the Son of God.
Today, multitudes are unaware of the true identity of Jesus because they are spiritually blind. If this describes you, ask God to open your eyes. Believe that the Lord of glory died for your sins. Then trust Him. Your eyes will be opened, and you'll recognize who He really is.
