CLER/Cl/S SAYS CLER IC U S SAYS: In Jesus Christ, God came to the early Christions and likewise Christ comes to us if we will receive him. Christ came to men that meh might come to Him. The birth of Christ was the greatest event to be scheduled on God’s timetable of eternity. Every historical event preceding Christ’s birth was a part of the preparation for it and all events following will be judged in their relationship to it. Lt is because Jesus revealed to ' us a God of such great love that • Christianity continues to challenge 1 persons in a wonderful * way. ' Christmas becames a season of I light when the message of the ' incarnation is shed abroad in the world. I Do you ffiyiyn 1. How far was “a day’s journey” as mentioned in the Bible? 2.

Lesson Prayer LESSON PRAYER: Dear Fa-' ther, we thank Thee that Thou hast revealed Thyself to mankind through the gift of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, and that Thou dost still speak to us today through the Bible, prayer, worship and the presence of the Holy Spirit. May we recognize that Christmas is not just a season of gift-giving, but a time for recognition of Thy gfieat gift to us. May we be very mindful that Thou dost wish to dwell in human hearts, to cast out Kate by fovc' ‘despair “by 'hbpe'." and death by eternal life. May we celebrate this Christmas season by becoming more Christ-like and more worthy of being Thy children.
