Christ is born. Glorify Him!

 

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined. (Isaiah 9:2)

Merry Christmas and Happy Nativity! 

Christ is born. Glorify Him!

The days of evil are numbered

A house in which the wood has rotted finally collapses when the wind and rain come. In the same way, the days of evil are always numbered. Its plans are frustrated, its power opposed. By its own nature does it bring about its demise. 

They make a pit, digging it out, and fall into the hole that they have made. Their mischief returns upon their own heads, and on their own heads their violence descends. (Psalm 7:15-16)

If the seed of a lie is sown, even in good soil, that seed produces an unhealthy plant. That sickly plant may in turn produce seeds, which fall and then bring forth more unhealthy plants of their own. But at last, when a strong wind comes, these plants, being sickly, are swiftly uprooted, and they lay wasted in the field and wither. In this way, the sickly plants perish and the seed of the lie are no longer produced. 

In contrast, even a single kernel of truth, if it falls in good soil, produces a healthy plant, which bears many more kernels. These kernels fall in turn, landing in the soil, and produce healthy plants of their own. Now, not even a strong wind may pull these plants out of the ground, since they are healthy. In the same way, the kernel of truth is beneficial to all who receive it. 

So the lie perishes and the helpful Seed endures, so that in time the Truth spreads until it fills an entire field, or even the entire world. So will it be at the end of the age.
