Brother Jamie mentioned two facts Sunday night that I had not thought of before (and here I thought I knew everything). I was born privileged. I was born in America, not Cameroon, not Romania, not Venezuela (and I have been in all three of those countries). Good people in those places, but just not as fortunate as I am. But spiritually, I was born into the wrong family. John 8:44, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” But, on April 17, 1956, I was born again into God’s forever family. And now, I am in such a privileged family! Praise the Lord for His sacrifice on Calvary!
Oh, I forgot the second new thought: my heart and the Christmas stable are similar. They are both dark and dirty and no place for fit for a King. But, Jesus came into both! Jesus Christ made a difference in the world when He was born 2,000 years ago, and Jesus Christ made a difference when He came into my heart – when I was born again almost 70 years ago! Thank you, Lord for saving my soul!
