To Be Least
"For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." (Luke 9:48)Thursday, December 25, 2003
Here's [Here] a heart warming story of a father and son being reunited after about 60 years. Seemingly miracles do happen.
Well Christmas is today. People all over this country were opening presents no matter how great or small. Thousands of kids were waiting excitedly for today and now that the day is halfway completed they will have to wait another 365 days until the next hectic season of happiness and good cheer.
Everyone receives gifts this time of year as well as gives them. Everyone likes a kind thoughtful gift or present now and then. However, sometimes people think receiving this one item would make them truly happy. What happens when the finally get it? Are they completely satisfied? No, of course not. There might be a dent or a piece might be broken. Even if it was in perfect mint condition, something about it wouldn't make you truly happy. Many people do not know this, but there is only one thing that can make you happy and joyful forever.
That thing is actually a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Son of God, sent by God the Father to this earth 2000 years ago to teach truth and ultimately die on the cross. His death wasn't needless however, he died so that you and me could go to heaven to live with him eternally after our earthly death.
That is not the end of this story however, three days after he was placed into a tomb, he rose to life. He talked with many of his followers then rose up into the sky. Before he left, however, he told the disciple [followers] that he would return in the same way he left.
If you would like to read the entire story go here and scroll down until you see the books Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. Any of these books tell of these events.
I hope everyone reading this had a happy Christmas celebrating Jesus's holy birth. I certainly did.
