Is Christ the heart of Christmas, is God in the place He should be? <br />On a day that we’re shuffling gifts, is it all just about you and me? <br />Isn’t Christmas about a King, who came to this earth for everyone? <br />And peace to all He would bring, as this Ruler was God’s own Son. <br /> <br />This very One, who came so meek, did not remain a child so small, <br />For that, baby so mild and weak, would grow to be The Lord of all. <br />But if people think of Christ at all, it won’t be as The Lord on High, <br />He is still that tiny baby in a stall, and in this time, we pass Him by. <br /> <br />How many people, would you say, of all the families on this earth, <br />When they celebrate Christmas Day, look beyond that infant birth? <br />How many people truly understand, as you consider every nation, <br />That Christ came to a tiny land, to bring the world God’s Salvation. <br /> <br />How is it men have come so far, within this intelligent human race, <br />Yet in this season, men will bar, all Truth of God’s Saving Grace? <br />Not using this Holy time of year, to lift up God’s Christmas Truth, <br />While giving in to political fear, concerned only of man’s reproof. <br /> <br />Why was Christ born my friend, to give the merchants a holiday? <br />Or, was it God’s means to an end, to show all men a better way? <br />Christmas would be awful small, if we didn’t have hope in Christ, <br />Who came to earth to die for all, so all men can have eternal life.<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-your-christmas-small/
