Acts 1:8--- But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
We are the Bibles the world is reading; We are the creeds
the world is needing; We are the sermons the world is heeding. Billy Graham
We do not always understand why God does what He does or how
He does what He does. When we look at the world and see what the birth of Jesus
in humble beginnings did for the world, we begin to get just an inkling of how
God’s wisdom and love work in our life. In a worldly sense, you would think
Mary and Joseph would have deserved better than a stinking cave where livestock
were kept. In a worldly sense, you would think the king of the world should
have been born in the world’s largest castle with hundreds of thousands of
people standing by for the news. In a worldly sense, you would think the birth
of Jesus should have set off some kind of beautiful revolution that changed the
world in an instant with no pain and no suffering. However, in the worldliest
way of looking at how things make sense, the world does not make sense. In the
worldliest way of looking at the world, the world has gone insane. In our
insanity, God is always trying to change the world from its insanity to sanity
by the love that brought to the world by a baby being born to simple people, in
a stinking cave where livestock were kept.
