Has the Lord come?
It must have been hard for those not in Bethlehem. They were still waiting. How could they have known he came? As Lloyd Weber said, "Israel had no mass communication."
Some died the next day or week. Never knowing He came. Even in the next years. They simply did not get the message. Doctrine of election aside, I wonder if we are called to get the message out in any way we can. A card, a call, a conversation.
No need to defend His position. Just to say, "We celebrate. He came back for us!" People can reach their own conclusions. Some might think we are goofy. Maybe if some don't think we are goofy, we are not communicating the joyous news at all.
He came back for us!!
Merry Christmas
