A Spiritual and Historical Story for Christmas: “All Because He Shared His Love…”

Jesus brought the world order... Jesus brought the world love.

Before Jesus came, the purpose of those who ruled the world was to conquer, dominate, and bask in all the riches that could be found. It wasn't about serving the people for an ancient leader, it was about the people serving him.

The "law of the jungle" truly existed and "only the strong survive" wasn't just a motivational quote to fire up the charges in an athletic contest or corporate competition. The world was an ugly place! (Yes, we know, many say it still is, but please read on...)

And then came Jesus

Was there an immediate change in the world order as it was known? Of course not. Just as anything in our realm, the seeds were planted. Next, the seeds had to take, and where the "ground" was fertile (and the inhabitants believed) the seeds began to grow. Eventually, one of the greatest empires of man's time (the Roman Empire), made His teachings the universal belief within its vast borders.

And then the word of Jesus was cultivated

If we look back to the fall of Rome, and start to move on, we will see a dark time. In this dark time of barbarianism, the belief was growing. Above ground in some places and underground in others. Good was battling evil, and the good was starting to emerge. Some would attempt to use His holy name for their fleshly needs, or even to justify their political rule, but in the end, were always exposed for their wrongs, and their destiny was sealed.

And then the word of Jesus took root

How to honor the Man who came to save the world began to be interpreted many different ways. Yet still, the most important elements of peace and love and prayer, were embraced, and man's true purpose was being realized.

A new nation emerged that would be for the people, and would honor each individual’s rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. One nation, under God, whose core beliefs were based on it’s Christian origins. This nation would emerge as the leader of the free world. Though not perfect, with it’s own ugliness that needed to be worked through (and still is in the process of), this nation we know as the United States of America, would become the Superpower that would lead the world in the fight against the oppressed and mistreated. The Superpower, that is doing the will of the Lord (even though many deny He has anything to do with it).

We will never be free of ugliness, or hate and war, for this life on earth is not only a mortal battle, it is a spiritual one at the core. But what the Lord brought to us when He brought His only Son, was the most powerful weapon known to man to ward off the evil schemes of the fallen one...

Jesus brought order

As we grow, we look for ways to better ourselves, to better our brothers, to better our world. We must understand that everything written, presented, and followed (that is of human expression), is all found in the Good Book. It is all there. How to serve, how to lead, how to love... It is all there. The civilized governments of the world today that are for its people, have done nothing but put those holy words into secular terms to declare the "law of the land" - the law of the land they use to govern and protect their people. It's been there all along, from the apostles to the scribes, who spread the word by mouth, and through print.

So at this blessed time of year, let us (2 Billion Christians of many denominations) be sure we give thanks for the blessing that was Jesus. 

For the righteous and good hearted, the 4 Billion who believe in other spiritual realms, give thanks to the MAN that Jesus was. For no other MAN could come and steer the world toward the belief of peace and love like Jesus of Nazareth has. 

There are many who have emerged from hate and destruction who were eventually brought to their fiery, dark, eternal destiny, but those who have followed the path that was Jesus, are those who have helped bring us to a time where peace, and love, and good will toward each other, has never been surpassed.. Until tomorrow!

And Jesus brought Love…
