"The Big News"

“
For unto you is born this day in the city
of David a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord.
And this shall be a sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:10,11
In
December 1903, after many attempts, the
Wright brothers were successful in getting
their "flying machine" off the ground.
Thrilled, they telegraphed this message to
their sister Katherine: "We have actually
flown 120 feet. Will be home for Christmas."
Katherine hurried to the editor of the local
newspaper and showed him the message. He
glanced at it and said, "How nice. The boys
will be home for Christmas." He totally
missed the big news--man had flown!
Tens of
thousands of people will be using the modern
marvel of flight to fly home for Christmas.
Trains, busses and highways will be busy as
family members make their way home to see
family during this wonderful time of the
year. Yet, most people, I’m afraid,
will miss the big news—The Saviour has come!
We all
realize how great an achievement it was for
man to become airborne in 1903. Yet there
has never been a greater accomplishment than
God becoming earthbound. The heavens were
filled with multitudes of angels breaking
forth in praise and singing to God, and
bringing good tidings to all people that a
Saviour is born! What great news! Mankind
now has a Redeemer! Every sin can be
forgiven, and man can live with God forever!
What greater news could man ever hear?
Let
each of us focus on why we are flying or
driving to see our families this Christmas.
Don’t lose sight of the big news this year:
A Saviour is born!
Study verses: Isaiah
7:14; 8:8: 9:6; Micah 5:2; Matthew
1:21-23
