"He
was created of a mother whom He created. He was carried by hands that He
formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy. He, the Word,
without whom all human eloquence is mute.” - Augustine
It's another December, twenty fifth. Another Christmas day. But like
Benjamin Franklin said, “How many observe Christ’s birthday! How few,
His precepts!” It's true that millions around the world celebrate today,
many for the wrong reasons. How many really know and acknowledge the
fact that He came to a world filled with pain, with a permanent cure. Or
that He came to a world dark from the bondage of sin with His
indescribable light to dispel forever the powers of darkness. He came to
a world, and a people he made with a message of liberation.
