Their Judge
Many people at this time of year will celebrate the birth of their judge. They have rejected Him as their Savior, lived for self and sin, but will pause to sing a carol or stand before a nativity scene, and maybe even attend a service where the Scriptures are read concerning His birth. However, they then go on living their lives and forgetting that, “He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:18-19).
I hope that none of my readers fall into this category. It will be an awful thing to stand before the Lord as judge and realize that you celebrated His birth but never accepted His offer of salvation. You will be amongst those of whom we read, “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened…And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:12, 15).
