Don't Miss The Baby

Hello Everyone,
The last group of people who missed Jesus was the religious leaders of the day – they were the ministers and pastors – people who should have been able to recognize when God was doing something.

When Herod was trying to track down this baby, he went to the religious leaders to see if they knew anything about this promised king.

They did – they knew all about Him from prophecies in the Bible and knew He would be born in Bethlehem. Do you know the funny thing – even though they were deeply religious, they didn’t even bother to go and check out Bethlehem to see whether this special baby, God’s Son, had been born that first Christmas!

They missed the baby because of their indifference.
They had all the facts about the baby.
They knew how special He would be.
They knew he was God’s Son who would save them, yet they didn’t really care.

They didn’t think they needed a Savior – they thought they were good enough and because of their indifference, they missed the baby.

Many people today think similarly to the religious leaders. They think that they are good people and will be good enough to impress God without the Baby – but they won’t and they can’t.

We need the baby if we are going to be right with God – He came to die so we could be forgiven. Without Him, we have no chance of pleasing God.

Are you indifferent because you don’t know why you need saving or because you think you are good enough on your own?

Don’t make this mistake this Christmas; don’t miss the baby because of your indifference. - Some miss the baby because they are too distracted by all the world offers now. - Some miss the baby because they are too busy and don’t have time to find out about him.- Some miss the baby because they are too scared to let him take control of their lives.- Some miss the baby because they are indifferent or ignorant of their need for a Savior.This Christmas, I want to offer you the greatest gift of all – a baby who was born in a manger in the city of Bethlehem.

His name was Jesus Christ and is the Savior of the world.

All for Jesus
