I recently wrote about the Christless Christmas nativity scene around the Weatherford, TX courthouse. I received an update that now the Baby Jesus has been put in the scene. The star of the show returned.
I don't know what precipitated the return of the baby Jesus to that nativity scene. I am sure word got back to some high powered person and the correction was made. None too soon with CHRISTmas less than twenty days away. Jesus is the star of the show, in the lead role, the most important character, the central figure, the miracle in the manger, and the Savior in swaddling clothes. Everything about CHRISTmas is centered around the birth of Jesus.
He is the main attraction. Not a jolly fat man dressed in a red suit. Not trees brightly decorated and lit up. Not colorful packages on Christmas morning. JESUS IS THE ABSOLUTE AND EXCLUSIVE STAR OF CHRISTMAS. HE DOES NOT SHARE HIS GLORY WITH ANYONE.
Isn't it interesting that Santa with just the rearranging of letters could also spell Satan. The jolly fat man in the red suit has become an icon. A fantasy. I figment of imagination. He can never usurp Jesus. For one, he is not real. Secondly, Jesus is eternal. He was there at creation. He will be there triumphant in the end. He will rule in the millennial reign. During the great tribulation the jolly fat man will not save anybody from anything. He will not offer assistance to persecuted saints. He will be absent at Armageddon. He will not preside at the Great White Throne judgment nor save anyone. JESUS WILL!
Thankfully someone came to their senses in Weatherford, TX and returned the star of the whole Christmas show. They just replaced the real Jesus with a representation. The real Jesus is now sitting at the right hand of God the Father awaiting His orders to come return for His bride. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Come quickly.
