Something from Billy Graham as we come into the Christmas season: Heavenly Herald "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." ~ John 10:10 * "Christmas is not just a date on the calendar. It is not just an annual holiday. It is not a day to glorify selfishness and materialism. Christmas is the celebration of the event that set Heaven to singing, an event that gave the stars of the night sky a new brilliance. "Christmas tells us that at a specific time and at a specific place, a specific person was born. That person was (in the words of an ancient Christian creed): 'God of God. Light of Light, very God of very God.' "That person was the Lord Jesus Christ. "And from the lips of Him who came fell these words:  'The Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost' (Luke 19:10). Like piercing trumpets, these words heralded the divine. They declared that Heaven had come to our rescue and that God had not left us to stumble alone on Earth's pathway. "What a wonderful and glorious hope we have because of that first Christmas!" ***
