Contrasts


Contrasts

It was recently announced that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of facebook and a billionaire and his wife, who is a physician, have celebrated the birth of their first child, a little girl whom they have named Max.

Max has indeed been born to wealth and privilege. Even if her parents give away 99 percent of their vast fortune to liberal causes close to their hearts as they have promised to do, this little one will be far wealthier than most people can begin to imagine.

Contrast these few tidbits of information with a few facts about another CHILD whose birth we celebrate at this time of year.

JESUS was came into the world as the adoptive son of a humble carpenter and a simple peasant woman. Although both traced their lineage to the legendary King of Israel, the sweet psalmist David, neither enjoyed the trappings of wealth and privilege associated with royalty.

JESUS was born a king without a temporal kingdom and HE affirmed that He would reign over the hearts of men. JESUS came to care for the disenfranchised, the downtrodden, the sick, the lame, the burdened--and HE received all men to HIMSELF, not just those who were politically correct.

Little Max's parents intend to give up a significant portion of their wealth but the TRIUNE MAJESTY ON HIGH sacrificed Heaven's only treasure when JESUS sacrificed HIMSELF to redeem mankind from the terrible consequences of his sin.

Every birth is worthy of celebration. Every life is precious. Every human being has a purpose to fulfill.

Max Zuckerberg will have every opportunity to achieve the desires of her heart.

JESUS CHRIST has one heart's desrie--that YOU place your life in HIS loving hands for time and eternity. Will you give HIM that opportunity?
