Most Significant Event In History Of U
mverse
By Loyal Phillips
Today the world commemorates the
hirth ot a Baby whose arrival was herald
ed by an angel chorus and a moving star.
We pause in wonder and gratitude be
cause what took place at Bethlehem was
the most significant event in ,the history
of the universe.
Nearly 2,000 years have passed since
the Heavenly Choir sang of "peace on
earth and good will toward men". Yet
the divine message brought by the angels
is not forgotten and is still lifting man
kind to new heights of hope and achieve
ment. Today we realize anew that the
birth at Bethlehem and its divine
ing are more real than the sun overhead
or the earth underneath.
Although long prophesied the arrival

Son to a lowly stable birth in a hillside

Today we divide the history of the
world at the birth of Jesus. Today people
in every nation rejoice because the out
look for humanity grows brighter and
brighter since Deity became human
through a miraculous birth in Bethlehem
2000 years ago. It is indeed fortunate that
Christmas has become the most univer
sally observed festival among mankind.
Above the carols, the greetings and the
outbursts of elated children the ancient
messianic promise still comes through:
Fear not; I bring glad tidings of great
joy to all people.
Unto you is born this day a Savior.
It is our hope that the Yuletide
season
in all its beauty and glory will bring hap
piness and Peace.
