The greatest wonder of Christmas
The greatest wonder of Christmas is that God took
the form of a man and visited this earth. Astronaut James Irwin
who walked on the moon in 1971 said, “God walking on the earth
is more important than man walking on the moon.” This Christmas,
millions will be pondering these golden opening words of St. John’s
Gospel, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God … And the Word became flesh and dwelt
among us.” [ John 1:1-14 ]
A word is the carrier of information, but Jesus
is The Word. The Bible says that, “In Him are
hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” [
Colossians 2:3 ] Before the universe was created the Word
had been eternally present before time began! Indeed, “All things
were made through Him.” That is, through the information and power
He possessed.
Information has no weight because it is neither
matter nor energy. If a floppy disc was weighed and then all the
information on it deleted it would still weigh the same. All the
beautiful design we see in every living thing is because of the
wise and intelligent information programmed into every DNA molecule.
It follows that because information is not material it cannot
have evolved. We can also conclude that the Source and Sender
of this information must be supremely intelligent because the
density and complexity of the DNA encoded information are billions
of times greater than man's technology could ever achieve.
The proof that Jesus was God is seen in the wonderful
display of His information and wisdom. He even knew how to enter
the womb of a virgin! How to defy gravity and walk on water! How
to command wind and waves! How to heal diseases and finally, how
to rise from the dead! The evidence is overwhelming!
