; THE ICWS THAT IS GOOD.' God Has
visited His earth! This news may be
good; it may be bad. If God be an
ogre, it is bad. If God be a Savipr,'
it is tjood. If a man. does not want to
be disturbed or saved, it is bad news;
if a man yearns to escape his bondage
and change his life, it is good news.
It all depends upon what kind of a God
we have and upon what sort of a person
I am,
Christmas tells the story of a G<5d
who so loved the world that He sent His
only Son to save it. And since 'He and
the Son are really one,it was God Him
self who came. He came to man because
He loved Him,
God loves you even if you wish He
had never come, - If you insist on igno
ring Him or. denying Him, He loves you
still. But His love is a treat to you.
Let Him have"a*c corner of your heart
and He will plot to take the whole of
your heart. Let Him get a bridgehead
in your.life and He will seek to in
vade the whole of your.life. You will
never be the same* again when His love
has captured you/
You had .better- settle for Santa
Claus this Christmas, if you want to
continue your life unaltered. Sing
about jingle, bells instead of about
the little town of Bethlehem, Exchange
your gifts and drink your toast instead
of seeking the doors of churches. Then
life can' go oh as before.
But if you take the good news seri
ously and beiad your ear to hear the
[continued next column)
glorious tidings of a God who loves
and saves, you will know that Christ
mas story as the most beautiful and
powerful message that has reached man
kind* Christ will come to you, and
life will unfold in incredible rich
ness*
