A n a n c ie n t legend tells of a chris tening for a baby, bom to roy alty in a small country of Europe. On the day of the affair, many guests were invited to the large home to cele brate the occasion. Dressed in their finery, the people were met at the door by the servants who took their wraps. After all had arrived, someone asked appropriately, “Where’s the baby?” The nurse was sent to fetch him, but soon she came running down stairs with the announcement that he couldn’t be found. A thorough search was started, all to no avail. Finally, one of the guests recalled that she had seen the baby lying on a bed up stairs where the coats had been placed. Upon checking, removing the gar ments from the bed, the parents were horrified and grief-stricken to see the
lifeless form of their small son. He had been smothered, to death. What irony! The one who was to be feted lost his life because someone was careless. In the commemoration, the real purpose of the gathering had been forgotten, and the one who was to be honored, killed. Isn’t this true of Christmas, too? People seem to have forgotten that we celebrate the coming of the Christ to this earth. But in the very occasion of this joyous season, His life is for gotten and set aside. Satan tries to smother out the real truths of the na tivity. Men do not wish to be remind ed that “He came to seek and to save that which was lost.” What does Christmas mean to you? What place have you given to our Lord Jesus Christ? “ That in all things HE Might have the preeminence.”
