Just been watching a programme on the nativity and was just thinking what if Jesus was never born. What if the nativity had never happened.
Jesus would still exsist, it says in the bible that Jesus was real in the beginning with God, but what if he hadn't physically been born?
Scrooge gets a chance in the Charles Dickens classic "the Christmas Carol" to see the time in the past, future and present. He gets the chance to see why he needs to change his ways.
The Ghost of Christmas future shows him the horrible reality what will happen if he doesn't start changing and caring for others. His world looks broken and his riches are In fact wasted with no one to share them with.
God sent Jesus into the world to change our future. He sent Jesus who became flesh and real. A man that felt our pain, a man that walked with man.
Because Jesus lived we can live. Jesus was sent so we could have life in all it's fullness, to show God loved the world he created and so we didn't have to pay the full price for our sins, he died and came back from the death to show that we could have eternal life.
Jesus came for you and me, he came to for all nations. It's up to us to make him are friend and saviour. Maybe he was our ghost of Christmas future?
Now Christmas is over and you sit stuffed with turkey, try thinking about how today would have been without Jesus and the nativity or even with out the crusifiction or resorection
