Poem
Imagine how sad December would seem if Christmas didn't exist; only the chill and wind would be felt through the frozen bones, nobody would live in these northern, frigid zones. What was the true purpose of Jesus's birth? Some even would say that it never occurred, and why would the Magi travel long days and nights to pay homage to the humblest of Kings? It was prophesied by Isaiah in the Old testament and the Wise Men believed him, following with awe the biggest and brightest star that they had ever seen; and didn't it seem strange that God would choose those simple shepherds to be the first to hear that message sung by a thousands of angels? Wouldn't you be happy when a child cries out and enters life? Wouldn't you celebrate that event with overwhelming joy and grace? The same way Jesus entered this world to suffer and die, and if Christmas didn't exist, who would remember who He was? Wouldn't that envious angel, whom God expelled from Heaven with haste, laugh loudly, knowing that we don't worship Him in spirit and faith? Fallen Angels are the eternal enemies of this Child, who atoned our sins by paying with His precious blood...to vindicate the Devil's astute lies! If Christmas didn't exist, some unbelievers would shout and rejoice, happy to erase Christ's redemptive message from the earth's surface... contradicting the Scriptures themselves and the Divinity behind it! Didn't Herod the Great hate Jesus, fearing He would have become the new King? Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
