This month the world over is synonymous with Christmas celebrations. What does Christmas mean to you? Focus on this idea of Christ appearing at just the right time. According to Scripture, Jesus first physically appeared as a baby born in Bethlehem. His true identity was known only to his parents and the wise men coming to bear royal gifts. Despite his public ministry, his teaching, the miracles, and a perfect sinless life that fulfilled prophecy, the people who were anticipating the promised coming Messiah somehow missed him. Why? Because they were preoccupied with the cares of the day at a time of great social, political and religious upheaval. Scripture also talks about the hardness of their hearts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>Today, we too live in an era of great social and political unrest. And we'd be fooling ourselves if we think our hearts can't also grow cold and callous. As we pursue this idea of a perfect Christmas, our distracted hearts and frazzled minds can distort the true meaning of Christmas. We can even miss or forget the greatest gift ever given Christ himself. So how do we guard ourselves against this? We can remind ourselves that Jesus Himself promised to appear again, returning as the Coming Conqueror. As the book of Revelation, chapter 19, describes, the King of kings and Lord of lords.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>As you celebrate Christmas this year remember that wherever you are, whatever your struggle, whether you’re going through a dark valley or at the mountaintop and everything seems fine, take heed that salvation is the person of Jesus. He is Salvation incarnate, the presence and the person of Jesus doing what only He can in your circumstances. So, trust Him, He is faithful, kind and good. And He will see you through because He is the Lord, your salvation. Jesus, the Son of Man, our humble and glorious King saw our pain, our need for a savior, and paid the ultimate price so that we could be saved, healed, and that we would know joy now and forevermore.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><i><span style='font-family:"Georgia",serif'>Gerald is an astute business leader, strategic marketer by profession and a motivator by calling.
