God & sinners reconciled!#
Imagine a time without Christmas. Imagine a world without forgiveness. Imagine humankind alive in 'the darkness', unable to discern the evil amidst the good and vice-versa, wondering why they hurt. THEN...
Imagine that justice still demanded the death penalty for our sins, for our war against God.
But no imagination required now. Into history slipped the baby Jesus to live a perfect, sinless life and grow to manhood only to willingly exchange His righteousness for our condemnation.
This would cause the eternal armies of Heaven to appear in the skies and announce to blue collar shearers in the paddock at night, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased!”
Songs would be written about unspeakable joy to the world on this remarkable, holy, previously silent night, and all of human history would pivot around this one, central, cosmic event!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King:
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."
The Last Word:
With a humble and repentant joy we lay aside all our false pride and hostility to God and accept His generous offer of peace.#
