And unto us a child is born......
So today is the birth of Christ. Yesterday on TV, there was a history channel special on the apostles and the apocraphatic tales. Mostly, the apocraphe told how the apostles preached and became missionaries and how they died and then the rest is myth and lore. At least, this is what I got out of the TV presentation. The thing that sparked my attention the most was the way that the apostles died. They mostly all died horrible deaths that were representations or rather supposedly honoring the death of Christ. They all died pretty horribly. Mostly, what I gathered is that they loved Jesus so much that they wanted to do everything just like Him, even in death. The thing so unique, that no one can ever mock is Christ's birth. Obviously, that is the point of the celebration today. Now, I am not going to pretend that Christ was born EXACTLY today 2003 years ago. That is not the point of today either. The point is.......I realize that some of you are thinking that the point is that we grow along spriritual lines. We claim spiritual progress not spiritual perfection, however that is not the point of this rambling right now. The point is that Christ was born. He was here. No questions asked. There are far and few between (like no one) that can deny His existance. Many can debate His worthiness, the way He came about or His ability, but no one can deny that a child was born and changed the way the human race thinks. Now, when perception is changed (Perception is the way you think), I have been told that this is the definition of a miracle. Christ was born, changed the way that the human race percieved the world, a miracle occured. Que no? Yeah, miracle day...spiritual truths...happy birthday Big Brother J.
