A Strange Way To Save The World

To mark December 1 I am going to do a Christmas song but it's not one of the traditional ones!  :)  Some of my favorite Christmas songs are ones that are more contemporary.  Ones that I actually think about listening to throughout the year because the message goes beyond the Christmas season. 

Come to think of it, the message of Christmas goes beyond the Christmas season.  And it is a strange message if you think about it.  A baby sent to save the entire world?  The entire human race?  WHAT?!?  And yet, that is exactly what God did - he sent a baby to save this world and only he could have thought of something so crazy and made it successful.  I love this song, I love the wonderment behind it.  What a strange way to save the world. 

Think you don't need saving?  Think again.  We all do.  There is not one person exempt from needing a Savior.  What holds you back from accepting the free gift of salvation from your depraved self?  Pride?  Shame?  Ignorance?  I challenge you to take a step back from yourself and examine the ways in which God has been and continues to reach out to you.  And he started it with a baby and a poor Israelite couple. 

What a strange...and WONDERFUL...way to save the world!

Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
