Every
child that comes into this world is special. In a way we are all emergency
babies, but some are born into the very center of pain and tragedy. So it
was with Jesus. His parents searched for the most basic need: a place to stay
where Mary could give birth. It was a normal delivery in desperate conditions.
Mankind was oppressed. Sin had shot straight into the heart of man. King Herod
caused the death of all children found to have been born about
the same time as Jesus. It could have been Sept.
11 or Nov.11, June 6 or Dec. 7; 4 B.C. or 4 A.D.; we just don’t know. His
mother bore Him in labour and the threats and assaults of the world eventually
overwhelmed him. He
lived and died for us.
He became the first aid of God offered to us. Our only
cost is willingness to make the call for help, to listen to,
and follow His directions
for our safe delivery. He is indeed risen from the dead! He’s
alive today. When we follow Him, the Way, the Truth, the life, our innocence and weakness will
mature into wisdom and compassion, and we become co-labourers with Him in
ministering to all in distress.
In trouble? Need help?
He is indeed risen from the dead; He’s alive!
Why not call out to Him today...
