We live in a marvellous world where,among other things, packaging has been elevated to a fine art. Self seal envelopes, styrofoam insulation, bubble wrap and vacuum packs are but a few of the modern techniques of enclosure.
And we have tried to apply the same techniques to Christmas.
The new Boxing Day is to wrap and box the wonderful story of Christmas into a package called "Happy Holidays" and put it under
the same tree as "Happy Hanukkah", "Happy Turkey Day", "Happy Birthday" and happy everything else.
Whatever you do DON'T GET SERIOUS about the Christmas message. That would never do.
We have Christmas in a VACUUM sealed package where every thing to do with faith, Christ, Saviour of the World and Son of God has been VACUUMED out.
Among the many boxes you may have under your tree this month don't try and put the Son of God in one. The only package He ever had was the womb of the Virgin Mary. Thereafter to be revealed to the world as a sinless Saviour and shortly to return in Power as Messiah, Lord of All.
Start worshiping Him NOW for we shall surely all bow before Him THEN.
Jubilate.
Ian
