“Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point–a great crossroads in our life.
From that point we either go more and more toward a slow, lazy, and useless Christian life, or we become more and more on fire, giving our utmost for His highest–our best for His glory.”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

A Gift
Come to the fields,
Hear a heavenly throng
Praise our wonderful Father
In rapturous song.Come to the stable
A wonder to see –
A child in a manger,
A gift given free.Come to the lakeside
With the sick and the lame,
Hear all of those needy
Call His precious name.Come to a hillside –
No glamour, no gloss.
Watch the Man who has died
Upon that stark Cross.Come to Jesus, Christ Jesus –
No tinsel, no tree.
Just Jesus, our Saviour
His gift sets us free.© 2015 Trevor W. Hampel.

A bright and significant Christmas symbol is the star. “Follow The Star” is the theme of this morning’s message.
A Christmas hymn the words of which were written in 1976 by Lorraine Clout and sung to the tune of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” has as its final verse, a call to give one’s life to Jesus:
If you would this Christmas Day
Know the Lord, then simply pray,
“Jesus, Saviour cleanse my sin
Take my heart and enter in.”
Would that many people who are not-yet Christian might pray this prayer and have their lives transformed.
Benediction:
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Amen. (Acts 20:32)
