The Christmas Story
By Rev. Lewis White
Pastor Community Baptist Church
It seems as if the people had
been waiting for a long time for
deliverance. There was chaos and
alien armies roamed the country
seeking to plunder and take what
they chose. Much like today, there
was unrest and far too many were
thinking about themselves and
their own needs rather than think
ing about others.
The prophets had told them of
the coming deliverer and they
were seeking deliverance. Where
was the deliverer? Why did he
tarry? If only the Messiah would
come they would find peace and
contentment.
And then the Messiah did come
one evening.
But it happened in such an un
spectacular way that many were
not ready. Angels sang the procla
mation of good news and shep
herds and wise men came to find
the deliverer. “Where is He . . .
born King of the Jews? For we
have seen his star in the east and
have come to worship Him.” They
brought costly gifts, carried by
laden camels which were laid at
his feet—But could this be the
deliverer? A tiny male child born
in a manger?
When Mary and Joseph were
warned in a dream to depart from
home and loved ones to assure pro
tection for the Christ Child per
haps there were those who were

disappointed to see events seem
ingly take their hope away from
them.
Often during young manhood as
He moved about the community
unrecognized and obscure in a car
penter's workshop, there must
have been those who remembered
the infant who w'as born of a Vir
gin and again and again wondered
where is He . . . born King of the
Jews? Little did they realize that
he was already prepared to do
what was necessary to bring men
into a right relationship with God
—even though it would mean that
He would be required to give His
life.
John the Baptist came preach
ing the proclamation of repent
ance "Repent ye, for the Kingdom
of Heaven is at hand” and many
curious and weary people flocked
near to find deliverance. But again

BAHA’I WORLD FAITH
The Cause of Baha’u’llah is the same as the Cause of Christ.
It is the same Temple and the same Foundation. . . . The sun
of today is the sun of yesterday. ... In the coming of Christ,
the divine teachings were given in accordance with the infancy
of the human race. The teachings of Baha’uTlah have the same
basic principles, but are according to the stage of the maturity
of the world and the requirements of this illumined age.
