My friend
I am wondering what the world would be like if Jesus had not come. The world would drastically change isn't it. Santa Clause will not be coming to town. Churches, Cathedrals, Monasteries even the whole Vatican City will disappear on the face of the earth. Pastors, Priest, Nuns, and other charitable institution run by them will vanish. Life styles will radically change. It would be a very different world! I guess this is what we will find ourselves without Christmas. No Jesus ....no Christmas.
The words, faith, hope and love will eventually lost its meaning. Even the word.......forgive will change. An eye for an eye will prevail all over the land. The Bible if it could still be called such will be thinner. No new testament. No epistles of Paul....No word of God. That which is hidden in the old testament will never be revealed because there is no new. For that which is revealed in the new is hidden in the old testament. The Book will just be empty words.
There is a story about a Minister who fall asleep one Christmas morning. He dreamed of a world into which Jesus never came. No Christmas.
In his dream, he saw himself walking through his house, but as he looked, he saw no stockings hung on the chimney, no Christmass tree, no wreath of holly, and no Christ to comfort and gladden hearts or to save us. He then walked onto the street outside, but there was no church with its spire pointing heaven. And when he came back and sat down in his library, he realized that every book about our Savior had disappeared.
The Minister dreamed that the doorbell rang and that a messenger asked him to visit a friend's poor dying mother. He reached her home, and as his friend sat and wept, he said, " I have something here that will comfort you." He opened his Bible to look for a familiar promise of hope and salvation, and all he could do was bow his head and weep with his friend and his mother in bitter despair.
Two days later he stood beside her coffin and conducted her funeral service, but there was no message of comfort, no words of a glorious resurrection, and no thought of a mansion awaiting her in heaven. There was only " dust to dust, and ashes to ashes," and one long, eternal farewell. Finally he realize that Christ had not come, and burst into tears, weeping bitterly in his sorrowful dream.
Then suddenly he awoke with a start, and a great shout of joy and praise burst from his lips as he heard the choir singing these words in the church nearby:
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him, born the King of angels,
O come let us adore Him,Christ the Lord!
LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE THIS CHRISTMAS! HE HAS COME!
With Christ all roads leads home!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

This is a very touching post Tay.
There was a time when I explored a book that will help me achieve happiness and self-esteem. I was horified to find out that the author was an anti-christ.Meaning a life without religion..without Christ. I concluded that how can anyone be happy in his or her life if there is no life after death. No heaven waiting for us for eternal happiness. The book explained that happiness and self-esteem can be achieved if you eliminate sacrifice and the presence of a supreme being which is God. For the first time I have felt within me that I cannot live without the words of Jesus in my life. It is true that life without Christ will be like Hell in its full meaning.
Thanks Tay for this post. To everyone, be reminded that Christ lives. Be thankful everyday for He has come for us and will be waiting for us for eternal happiness.
Rejoice and experience the true spirit of Christmas.
