GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN...GO TELL IT ON THE PLAIN

(These One A Days are added to each day)

The following is an imagination story. I am certainly not aware that it happened, but it might have.

On the day of the Ascension to heaven, as Jesus moved past the Pearly Gates, He was met by the angel Gabriel. “How went it during your time on earth?” he asked the Master. “Poorly,” replied Jesus. “I preached the Love of God and they responded by nailing me to a cross.”

“Then what did you do to see that your message would be carried on?” asked Gabriel.
“I chose 12 Disciples and told them to spread the word of God’s love for all man-kind.”

“But what if they don’t?”

“Then there is no other way. But I know they will. Except for Judas, I know they will. I have no doubts.”

And so it is. Christ’s faith in us and our faith in Him. And a thousand plus a thousand centuries of men and women passing on the story of the birth of Christ.

You passing on the story to friends and strangers, or with fear and trepidation telling no one. Sharing with no one. Just keeping the wonder of it all for yourself.

Because Christ was born magnificence is only a prayer away, but not “if you live forever in the preface of the story without becoming involved.” (Charles H. Duthie of Edinburgh)

“For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

The voice of the Master is as close as a meaningful prayer. The fact of His existence and the miracle of His birth and resurrection are as close as your waiting soul. It just depends on what you are listening for.

Have you visited my “Life Is Not What It Is But What You Make It” site. Go to Google and where it says “Google Search” type in “Wyrick’s Writings”

Have you considered sharing this site with family or friends? Just have them go to Google Search and type in “Neil Spiritual Vitamins”

And, yes, hope you make visiting this site a daily habit.
