The greatest
story ever told or written. Some say the Christmas story is the Greatest
Story, while others say Easter. What is one with out the other? I think
both together are the Greatest Story ever told, or written.
If you go back
and look at the times, the place, the thinking of the people of the times,
and even of the present day, Jewish people never accepted Jesus. Things
were in a mess then just like today. Nothing really changes – just the
actors in the play.
You see the
people were asking once again for the leader to waltz them out of the mess.
They were looking to the sky for the man with the sharp sword in hand, and
also a sharp tongue of a sword to take care of the problems.
Instead they
got this guy walking about teaching of things like peace, good will, and
talking about the
Kingdom
of Heaven. Just who needs him and his peace, good will, and right now we
are worried about the Kingdom here on earth. Things were in one big mess.
Now this
fellow, he seems to have a small group following him about. He never seems
to have much in way of worldly goods. Just enough to make it maybe through
the day. Sometimes the group stands on the street corner and talks.
Sometimes they find a house to have a get-together. I would think maybe
they were preaching the overthrow of the government. Maybe we should call
up the CIA, The FBI, and the Homeland Security Gang of the day. Might find
some Liberals in the robes. They do talk about feeding the poor, and giving
a cup of water to the needy.
I have never
figured out this Greatest Story ever told. That is, you have to have
Christmas to give you Easter. So what is one with out the other?
I think the
Greatest Story has to be Christmas, and Easter, and all the Bible tells you
that happened between those two dates.
The Bible tells
of a humble birth. The power hungry were looking for a step right out of
the Sky King to come in and take them to a new high. The devil with this
man of poor birth in the back alley of some
Inn in some small burg.
The Bible many
a place, tells us of this man and his travels about. Just a walk from one
place to another. Kind of like that old song. Just a walk with Jesus.
Then just like today. People were not going on a walk, they was looking
for a ride.
The Bible tells
us of his talks with people about all kinds and classes. I noticed he
talked to every one. Rich, poor, in-betweens. A few Saints, lots of
sinners. Saints got mad and walked away or in most cases rode away in the
Caddy of the day. They told how pure they were, and just who is this poor
bum on the street corner any way?
The thing is,
the Bible told many places about this man coming, how he would come, and
what was going to happen. It is there in black and white. In PLAIN
SPEAKING. One doesn’t need the latest washed-out re-write of a re-write of
King James to understand.

The problem
then just as it is today. People don't read. I have said it many times.
Better look out Mr.and Mrs, and Miss Saint. And this goes for preachers of
all types. You never know. That poor person standing on the corner, was
that Jesus you just passed by with out a second look?
Now I know I
jumped off of the path.. The thing is the jump off is what Christmas and
Easter is about. Jesus came here as very humble, died a sorry death. He
rose and is alive today. He talked,, do un to others as you would have them
do unto you. All this is what Christmas and Easter is about. He came,
walked and talked, and died on the cross for you and me. He is no longer
on the cross, nor in the grave, the Bible also fore told that before he
came. Remember one thing. God so loved the world, he sent his SON to save
your soul.. I think the word is, HE SO LOVED YOU AND ME, BROTHER AND
SISTER.
