Christmas Truth

No one likes to hear these words: “I told you so.”  I’m not sure just what it is about those words, but they have great potential to get me riled, or as Mr. Bill says, to “wake up Hester” – that other personality who is not so nice! 

 

Piper makes this statement: “Christmas means God is truthful.”  What those words “I told you so” really mean is you were wrong, I was right, nana nana boo boo.  While that response is anything but gracious, the resulting truth is exposed and confirmed.  Peter reminds us what God said through Moses and the prophets that came after him, “… A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you …” (Acts 3:22). The prophet Peter spoke of was Jesus, and His birth in Bethlehem confirmed the truthfulness of God.  God showed us what He told us!  We know from Scripture God cannot lie (Titus 1:2), God keeps His promises (Deuteronomy 7:9), and God is faithful (1 Corinthians 1:9).  Jesus was Savior and Messiah, as prophesied – as foretold – as promised!  The truthfulness of Almighty God - what a beautiful Christmas blessing!
