What if Christ Had Not Come That First Christmas?

If Christ hadn’t come we’d have never understood the preciousness of ne soul – the preciousness of you, our friend – in the sight of God.

In Matthew 13, He called us a treasure.

In Luke 15, He compared us to sheep and promised that the Good Shepherd would go through anything to find even one of us that gets lost!

When Christ was born on Christmas morn,
A dream was born of infinite care
That you and I would find a cross –
And meet Him there.

When Christ was born on Christmas morn,
A dream was born of glorious worth,
That wolves and lambs would dwell in peace
And latter rains make crops increase
On all the earth.

When Christ was born on Christmas morn,
A dream was born – God’s own great scheme
That sin and death would soon be past
And kingdom peace emerge at last.

Oh friend, be glad!
Look up! Hold fast
The
Christmas
Dream!
