Just a few more days and it’s here…

Local Commentary OK I know that we are all caught up in that present thing because of the time of the year. But let me tell you about a present like no other present that has ever been before or will ever be again and that is even if we are here a million more years.

This present that I'm talking about is not something that you can buy at a store or on the Internet because the present that I'm talking about came straight out of Heaven and was given to the people all over the world with the stipulation that you as a person could never do any thing yourself that would ever make you able to pay for this present. This ended up being the greatest present ever and it was given to people for free, but the giver had to pay a price that we as humans will never be able to calculate in our mind.

Now I know that probably the first thing that comes to your mind is there is no way a present like that could ever be free but the fact is, it is the only way that the present would ever be delivered to all of us here now and in the past and it would only be able to come from Heaven and could only be free. One of the impressive things about this present was it came in the form of a little new born baby boy but in reality this little boy was God himself.

Now you would think that a present from heaven would be so glamorous and out standing that it would be hard to look at because of the greatness but the way it came is still a mystery that only the Master over all of heaven knows. This present was brought into this world to a woman that had never been married or even ever been with a man and that is one of the mysteries of this present that only the Master over heaven knows because if man had anything to do with it the hardened heart would have been part of the present and we all would still be going to hell.

I know that some of you are thinking that there are babies born all the time and some of those babies get to live as God intended and some don't because they would be an inconvenience to some one and our laws say if that is the case then the baby has to go. But the one that I'm talking about is one that had to live by what ever means it took but if he was born today his chances of not being aborted would be about ten percent even though he did have a rough start by having to share a barn with a lot of animals and having to hide by any means and what ever had to be done.

He even had to leave the area where he was born because there were a lot of people that wanted to kill him not for the same reason as today but a lot of mothers today want to kill their babies because they might keep some of them from doing all these great things that they have planed out in their lives ahead.

Today a lot babies are a nuisance and we can get rid of them even though all life comes from God and I'm sure that if they could tell you they would more and likely say that they wanted to live and they just can't understand why they have to be killed because they have not done anything to any body, but the big difference with this special baby was he was brought into this world to die but not by a clinic somewhere that was in it for the money.

This special baby that grew to a 12 year old boy was with his parents at a big festival that took place ever so often and on the way back home he went missing from his parents and when they finely found him he was talking to a group of what would be known today as great scholars and he was teaching them some things of coming events that only someone with a greater ability than anyone and this knowledge had to have come from the most high power of learning so it had to come from Heaven because no one could possibly know what he knew and he was only 12 years old.

Now this was just one of the starting points in time that he would bring wonderful news that this present that I was telling you about would change the world from what it was then and all through time. Then as now we just don't like change in our lives unless it is the way we want it and because of our harden heart we sure don't want a lot of good stuff to be in our life because we like doing it our way.

But as we know now he went on to be the savior of the whole world after he paid a horrible death on a cross, at one time he was a precious little baby boy that most mothers like his would be so loving to him as they held him in their arms and kissed his little cheek.

So this time of the year take a few minutes and put Santa in the back ground of your mind and just think about that little boy that came into the world to make a way for everyone that wanted it could have a door to walk through and to get to go live with the heavenly father for all eternity. Now there is a Christmas present for you and me.

God bless all and may you take that free present and receive it into your heart and then the door will open for you also. If you do then you have received the greatest present of all.
