I talked with a man the other day who said he had been a member of his church for 28 years, but last year was the first time he had ever taken Christ home with him. He had invited the minister for dinner, had church officers meet in his living room, served the Young People on his patio, but never Christ... never Christ.
Because Christ was born life down through the ages has become one series of miracles after the other. Discouraged folks have cheered up, sour folks have sweetened up, closed folks have opened up, gossipers have shut up, conflicted folks have made up, lukewarm folks have fired up and pew potatoes have stood up. (Rick Kirchoff, Memphis Methodist Annual Conference)
Once upon a time there was a birth in Bethlehem, and his name was Jesus and his timeless gift to man was an eternal guarantee of love and forgiveness. "Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world."
The church was not our idea or any of our ancestor's idea. It was God's idea. "Upon this rock I will build my church." Jesus said this of the faith of Peter, and He says it to you and me
