But He is the One Who Shaped Up Millions of Lives

If we don’t know the Bible and time will take us back to Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago, and we see the scenario of the Savior’s birth; we may not accept the truth that Jesus is the Savior of the world. If you just happen to discover Joseph, Mary and the little baby in that little manger with the animals; you may not know that He is the Savior of the world. And that He is the Messiah and the King of kings. How in the world did He end up in a little village in Bethlehem with the animals and with the poor couples living with them could be your big question of the day.

But He is the one who shaped up millions of lives and He can do the same to you. He is the one who showed us the way from darkness to glory by the working of the Holy Spirit. My question for you; “What will you do or may say if God will take you back from the manger to the cross, leaving you a 2,000 years gap?” If I don’t know the story of Christ and the Bible; I would say He was an unfortunate baby, who became homeless in His whole life time, and died a miserable death on the cross.

But we know He is the Christ of Christmas and the only reason for the celebration. He is the one who gave us joy, peace and satisfaction that this old world could never do. He is the reason why we love the Lord. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He is the Eternal God, the second person of the Holy Trinity. And He is the only way, the truth and the life. The prophet Isaiah beautifully penned the greatest prophecy about the birth of the Son of God, he wrote; “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6 KJV) -By Ely Roque Sagansay
