The implications of Christmas

Merry Christmas!

This is the time of the year that all Christians (generally) become victorious, celebratory, and robust in their demonstrations of beauty and giving. We sing "Joy to the World!" and we become basically Postmillennial Christians for just one little time span of the year. Oh for the day when all Christians will be as confident in the Lordship of our Savior over all aspects of life everywhere. When Sabbath living will be the most joyful, restful, and truly delightful day of the week. The rest of the year, unfortunately, Christians exude a literal theology of defeat.. Let's just let the world go to pot because we are going to be raptured out of here...Instead of a more biblical theology which (because of the incarnation of Christ) the Creator turns towards remaking and renewing this creation. Because of Christ, we live in this world, we are to remake the spoiled creation around us and plant ourselves here.... We are to think about planting trees (children) and nurturing them for a thousand generations.. Until, The New Heavens and the New Earth are complete here and everywhere in space--"No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found..!!!! Let Heaven and nature sing! Rocks, hills, plains, animals and the creation sings for joy-Rom 8... May His Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. Christians were never evac-ed through history.. We win! Why would God get the greatest of glory if MOST people went to Hell? No, search the Scriptures and see, all the nations will bow before Him, and every tongue confess.. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry. The government of the world will be on Him. All authority has been given to Him, He will not give His glory to another!
He reigns! This is what Jesus is Lord means!
