Subject: What is the "sign to be opposed?" |
Bible Note: Greetings Asis! It has troubled me how "sweet" we make the birth of Christ for it was anything but that for the King of Glory to step into time! In light of this thinking, I wrote this for my Christmas cards this year: The Great Exchange Christmas marks the original episode of “Trading Spaces.” It was over 2000 years ago when God traded the holiness of heaven for the stench of a stable; a white throne for a wooden trough; strains of an angelic chorus for sounds of hungry animals and His Heavenly surroundings for the arms of a teenager. The cost for this exchange was beyond our ability to pay. Why did He want to “trade spaces?” So that a little more than 30 years later He could go to a cross and trade “places” with us! (Romans 6:23; I Peter 2:24) |
