WARNING PREACHY…
What I love about babies is their potential. Every single baby that is born has the
potential to change the world.
*Jesus was a baby
*Gandhi was a baby
*Abraham Lincoln was a baby
*Martin Luther King Jr. was a baby
*Mother Theresa was a baby
* Elvis was a baby
Each of these people made a huge impact on our world and
will be forever remembered in history.
What about you? What
about me?
There is a
story that tells about a little girl who walked along the sea shore just after
the tide went out, and the beach was strewn with hundreds of starfish just lying
and baking to death in the sun. As the little
girl walked along she stopped and gently picked up a single starfish and set it
back into the sea.
An old man
saw her do this and apologized there were too many starfish for her to
save. She just shrugged and told the
man, “That’s OK, I know that there’s at least one starfish that I could save.”
The birth of Jesus reminds us of how God changed the world
through one little baby, but a most important thing about that baby is not how
He changed the world, but how He has changed me.
The world might be better because of the birth of Christ,
but I am especially glad that he stopped and gently saved me.
Matthew
1:20b-21
“Joseph son of David, do not be afraid
to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the
Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a
son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people
from their sins.”
