The Almighty God is in His world. He is not far away and inaccessible He would take each life present here and work as mightily to transform it, as He did in the lives of Peter, and John, and Mary Magdalene, whose conversions are here recorded. We need not worry about the Virgin Birth, nor wait until someone has explained to our satisfaction the method of the Incarnation. Sufficient the fact that God is working in His world. I may not be able to explain to your complete satisfaction the theory of wireless transmission, but if you come with me I can let you hear a voice speaking from another continent, as we shall hear our King this evening, and that is convincing proof; it works. And surely, if I point out to you, as I can, men and women in whom Christ is working, in whom He has worked marvellous transformations that can be explained on no other ground than by divine power, then no further proof should be needed then no argument can change the facts.
The Angels still sing their sweet song, good tidings of great joy to al' who will hear and heed their message. "Unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour who is Christ the Lord." But we must listen, we must ce-operate,.we must do our part. We must give him more than stable-room, give him an honoured place in our heart, give it by a sincere desire to be free from sin and its power, give it by an honest effort to follow in his footsteps, in simple faith ask forgiveness and the guidance of his Spirit. He will do the rest. So Christ is born in human hearts. God with us, God in us—this is the real joy of Christmas, a joy that may be ours this year, re-gardies of outward circumstances or surroundings.
