So many of today's establishments are based on the pride of man in what man can do and achieve in his own strength. Our universities are full of this pride , especially our scientists who never stop to think how often, after some wonderful revelation of theirs they have to admit they got it wrong five years down the line. In Britain we were once told that eggs were bad for us because of the cholesterol in them. Sometime later we were told eggs had good cholesterol and we could eat as many as we liked. There is no trusting these self glorifying people. I have noticed that such people are lacking in common sense. They fill their heads with equations but hardly know how to look after themselves on a practical level. They say "Pride comes before a fall." Although this is a misquote, it is true. When man thinks so much of himself he is in for a rude awakening. If his life consists of his cleverness he will one day come down to earth with a bump. When he finally meets with His Maker all his academic prowess will count for nothing. The big question will be, "What have you done with Jesus?"
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
