Too little to be among the clans of Judah,
From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.
His goings forth are from long ago,
From the days of eternity." ~ Micah 5:2
As we prepare to celebrate our first Christmas in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we are reminded of the crucial truth of Christ's eternality. We have learned that many Thai Buddhists connect a religion's value and accuracy with its age. Since Buddha lived some 500 years before Jesus was born, Buddhism is considered to be superior to Christianity. However, we believe the Scriptures which tell us that Christ had no beginning, but rather, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:1, 14). As Ravi Zacharias wrote, "How can time argue with eternity?"
May you be blessed as you celebrate the Eternal Christ this Christmas season.
May you be blessed as you celebrate the Eternal Christ this Christmas season.
