Newsweek Poll

There are many scriptural prophecies concerning the birth of Christ. We will discuss a few of them in the entries for December 24 and 25. There has also been much written by secular writers about His birth, life, death and resurrection.

It is somewhat interesting to read what others have to say about this Man among men--especially if we do so without allowing what mere men think to influence how we relate to the God-Man who abides in our hearts.

With that in mind, may I present a few statistics from a NEWSWEEK poll which was taken a few years ago. They reflect the opinions of people like you and me. Though all did not profess to be Christians who answered the poll, most of them expressed the belief that JESUS HAD IMPACTED THE WORLD FOR GOOD.

Here are the statistics:

If Jesus had never been born:

63% believe there would be less charity in the world.
61% believe there would be less kindness.
59% believe there would be less personal happiness.
58% believe there would be less tolerance.
47% believe there would be more war.

With that in mind, may we allow HIM TO REIGN IN US, SO WE CAN IMPROVE OUR SPHERE FOR GOOD BY HIS PRESENCE IN OUR HEARTS.
