Last night, my favorite “Christmas” cartoon came on television – Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.  As my children sat watching this cartoon, I was taken back in my memory to when my two brothers and I would anticipate this cartoon and watch it without blinking.  It was cool to reminisce those days gone by.

Have you ever taken time to think about the real Christmas event over 2,000 years ago.  Have you taken time to ponder the significance of the Christmas event?    The great bible preacher G. Campbell Morgan says this about Christ’s advent:

“The importance of the subject [Christ's advent] cannot be overstated.  The whole teaching of Holy Scripture places the Advent at the center of the methods of God with a sinning race.  Toward that Advent everything moved until its accomplishment, finding therein fulfillment and explanation.  The message of the prophets, seers, and the songs of psalmists trembled with more or less certainty toward the final music which announced Jesus’ coming.”

The most important event to affect history was the birth of Christ.  God’s entrance bodily into history changed the world for eternity.  And His second advent will bring history to a close for eternity.  Are you prepared?
