The wonder of Christmas is that it is about the most inspiring, beautiful story ever told.
The fact that an omnipotent Creator would deliver His plan of salvation for humanity through an innocent child is stunning.
After all, He could have used the enormous forces of nature to draw attention to his dissatisfaction with the spiritual shortcomings of those created in His image.
A major flood, a devastating string of earthquakes, killer diseases, or other deadly calamities could have been visited upon the earth to remind sinners of the urgent need to reconcile with their Maker.
Instead, He chose to deliver His message of hope and eternal life through a human instrument in the form of baby Jesus.
The world has never been the same.
Unfortunately, mortal men and women have since decided that some human life is not important enough to qualify for eternal life.
This arrogant denial of God’s greatest gift—human life—reached it’s apex in 1973, when the United States Supreme Court ruled that abortion was an inalienable right set forth in the United States Constitution.
Thus, the will of man was judged superior to that of the Creator. His will was ruled subservient to that of fallible humans.
This despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution was crafted by God-fearing men of faith who would be appalled to learn that their great work would be distorted and misrepresented in order to justify infanticide.
More than 50 million innocent fetuses have been destroyed in America since the death sentence was imposed on the unborn in 1973.
Abortions are “justified” by a variety of reasons, the inconvenience of a pregnancy being the least moral. In situations where a woman has been a victim of rape or incest, more plausible justifications are applied.
Regardless of justification, the fact is that 50 million human spirits have been destroyed through human, rather than divine, intervention.
Which means that the classic Christmas carol titled “Come, Let Us Adore Him,” has literally been changed to “Come, Let Us Abort Him.”
Oh, and if ObamaCare ever becomes law, the government will probably pick up the tab!
