Those suffering injustice in prisons across America humbly honor The One Who Suffered Injustice like them.
As you and I celebrate this Christmas season, I cannot help but hearken back as to the "whom" we are celebrating. In my current accommodations, there are no Christmas tree, stockings or a fireplace to hang them over. We have no eggnog, holiday songs or presents to exchange. But what we do have is the Person in whom we commemorate the celebration to, Jesus Christ, Immanuel, the Savior of the world and my Lord and my God. When Simeon held up the Consolation of Israel, he exclaimed, "for my eyes have seen your salvation" and that he was "now ready to die in peace."
An anonymous author penned an interesting description many years ago of our Mighty God. Enjoy.
“More than nineteen hundred years ago there was a Man born contrary to the laws of life. This Man lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity. He did not travel extensively. Only once did He cross the boundary of the country in which He lived; that was during His exile in childhood.
He possessed neither wealth nor influence.
His relatives were
inconspicuous, and had neither training nor formal education. In infancy
He startled a king; in childhood He puzzled doctors; in manhood He
ruled the course of nature, walked upon the billows as if pavements, and
hushed the sea to sleep. He healed the multitudes without medicine and
made no charge for His service.
He never wrote a book, and yet all
the libraries of the country could not hold the books that have been
written about Him.
He never wrote a song, and yet He has furnished the
theme for more songs than all the songwriters combined.
He never founded a college, but all the schools put together cannot boast of having as many students.
He never marshaled an army, nor drafted a soldier, nor fired a gun; and
yet no leader ever had more volunteers who have, under His orders, made
more rebels stack arms and surrender without a shot fired.
He
never practiced psychiatry, and yet He has healed more broken hearts
than all the doctors far and near. Once each week the wheels of commerce
cease their turning and multitudes send their way to worshiping
assemblies to pay homage and respect to Him.
The names of the past
proud statesmen of Greece and Rome have come and gone. The names of the
past scientists, philosophers, and theologians have come and gone; but
the name of this Man abounds more and more. Though time has spread
nineteen hundred years between the people of this generation and scene
of His crucifixion, yet He still lives. Herod could not destroy Him, and
the grave could not hold Him.
He stands forth upon the highest
pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, acknowledged by angels,
adored by saints, and feared by devils, as the living, personal Christ,
our Lord and Savior.”
May God bless you in this time of celebrating the birth of our Lord and may we always give thanks for the bountiful provisions He provides. I heard once that we will only have tomorrow the things we give thanks for today. With that in mind, I walk this prison with little to complain about as I'm always giving thanks for the things He's provided. Try it! You'll have very little time for complaints. God bless.
