Christmas

There is an old saying, “Never meet your heroes”.  The thinking behind the saying is that we are often disappointed when we actually meet people whom we have admired from a distance. 

 

The past year has seen some people who were greatly admired fall into shame and disgrace.  From television presenters to members of the Royal Family, there have been people whose reputations have come crashing down and have left us disappointed. 

 

In the light of such things it is easy for us to become cynical and to ask ourselves if there is anybody we can fully admire and trust.

 

At Christmas time we think about the birth of the one person in all of history who never disappoints those who truly believe in him and follow him.  That person is Jesus Christ.  The Bible speaks of his birth in this way: “To us a child is born, to us a son is given”.  Then it goes on to tell us who this child is and what he will be like: “He will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”.

 

Nobody who believes in him is disappointed for he teaches them the truth, and shows them what God is like, and cares and provides for them, and gives them peace with God.  He does all this because he is the Son of God who came into the world to live and die and rise again in order to bring people to God.

 

Do you find yourself disappointed with people whom you have admired?  Why not come to church this Christmas and find out about the one who never disappoints?
