| The World's Most Important Invasion |
|
| |
History is full of invasions as country after country has attacked another. Many invasions have changed the course of human history. Which one has had the most powerful effect on humanity?
I agree with C.S. Lewis who believed that the most powerful invasion in human history wasn’t a military invasion at all. It was a nonviolent invasion and was hardly noticed at the time. However, today this invasion is celebrated around the globe.
The nation of Israel was invaded by a powerful Conqueror in the most unusual way. He entered the country as a new born babe. We call this invasion — when the Creator became a human and invaded planet Earth — Christmas.
Untold millions of people have personally believed that the man we call Jesus was the invasion of the living God into human flesh. Others write off this invasion as a myth.
However, the effect of this invasion on those who believe in and obey the resurrected and living Jesus, has been profound. Countless men and women have been transformed by this Invader from selfish to selfless, from grabbing to giving, from success seeking to sacrifice. Much of the good in our Western Civilization has been inspired and carried out by those who sought to daily love and obey Jesus Christ the Conqueror. Has He conquered you?

Yes! That's a great perspective Steve. The gates of hell shall not prevail! 16:15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am? 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. 16:18 And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Best regards,

| Thank you Steve for this writing. The Lord reminded me through song that He is my passion, my shade in the sun and that He is watching over me. I am so thankful for the Lord's saving grace, that I am not the person I once was. |

| Brother Steve, It's sad but to a lot of folks, Jesus is still viewed as a babe in a manager. Several years ago my baby daughter and I were traveling by a Church that always has a very large manager scene. My daughter ask me,where was the baby Jesus? This was in early January, after they had taken down the manager scene. I told her that baby Jesus had been put into storage.She's 26 years old and still remembers, Daddy saying, Jesus was in storage. |

As a proud member of this country's military, I can indeed pray everyday that everyone in this world be conquered by such love and acceptance. Not to have even 1 casualty but to be victorious, unite and be one in GODS' eyes. ( i had to be careful not to refer to one world governtment) lol I love you all and having put my life on the line in an insignificant way comapred to Jesus. would do so Again and Again, to see just one person recieve the holy spiritwhen HE comes a knockin' With LOVE IN JESUS' name |
