THE BIRTH OF CHRIST A WONDERFUL STORY! An aged Indian woman spoke in her native tongue at a Christmas service for the benefit of the Indians who were present. Then she turned to the English-speaking people and said in English, I have told my people the story of the birth of Christ. It is a wonderful story! Do you know, I pity you pale-faces. You never knew the astonishment and wonderment that I felt when I heard this story for the first time! You have always been familiar with it. It says nothing special to you. My best Christmas wish for you is that you may be moved again by the glory of the gospel, as if you were hearing it for the very first time, so that Christ may really be born in your hearts as in mine!

Pastor Jonathons Word of The Week When we lift our inward eyes to gaze upon God we are sure to meet friendly eyes gazing back at us, for it is written that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout all the earth. The sweet language of experience is "Thou God seest me." When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on this earth. ------ A.W. Tozer
