Christmas is the most joyful of seasons for Believers…when publicly we are closest to God…birth of Christ.
It
is also a time when we can open our hearts and remember the “second
great commandment” as mentioned in Matthew 22:39, ‘Love thy neighbor as
thyself.’ Sometimes that’s hard to do...
Baxter's column then describes a "scammer" who brings a great deal of misery into Baxter's and many others lives, and describes Baxter's initial response. Baxter's close, though, is what I want to highlight today, as it is so apropos to current events.
This Christmas, parts of our fellow
Americans are floating in a sea of political hate. It personally harms
the hater much more than the hated. It is like drinking poison and
expecting the other person to die from it. Take the first step… Jesus
forgave those who crucified Him.
Philimone, chapter 1.
