news OF feaCe
nNE of the best kinds of news
~ thcre is is to learn that someone
we thought was an enemy, is actu-
ally friend. The end of misunder-
standing. of estrangement-what a
rush of warmth to the heart it
bringsi
That is the news of the first Christ
mas-that God is our friend. Christ
did not come to assure men that
there is a God. That was well
known, indeed few doubted it. He
did not even come to announce that
there is but one God. for that was
: already known to the wiser sort Of
men. Neither did his coming un-
veil the God of justice. The Greeks
and Romans, as well as the Jews,
knew such a God only too well.
No wonder Roman poet, looking
about on the religions of his time,
concluded that fear is the great
god-maker. His notion was a mis-
take; but it was a natural one.
For all the religions of the ancient
world. even the religion of the
Jew. were attempts to ward off
the anger of offended gods.
The coming of Christ was to
put an end to all that. This was
more than a friendly gesture,
it was an act of love. Those who
have discovered God in Christ (

our Maker but our heavenly
Father and Friend. There is no

News of a Gift

1T is good news also when we hear
of legacy or gift Of some sort,
especially when it is something we
could not have expected. And the
story of Christmas is the news about
God personally entering the life
Of man. 1t is God giving us him.
self. True. the world Is full of the
gifts of God.
In the Child Of Bethlehem, in
the Man he was to become, in
the work he was to do, there
was a new thing-the self-giv-
ing Of God. That is one reason
why Christmas means infinitely
more to a Christian than to any
one else.
For the Christian, the story
of Christmas, for all its charm, is
only another story of child born
to poverty, doomed to pain-an-
other chapter in the long agony of
man. For the Christian, the story
of Christmas is the Good News of
how God gives himself, for our
sake.
