What Is the Destiny of the Christ Child? - Ronald Beideck - December 1974

NOWHERE does the Bible instruct Christians to observe the birth date of Christ. Yet, strangely, among the multiple millions who do believe they are commemorating the Savior's birth (not knowing the real origin of "Christmas"), very few have heard the reason why Jesus Christ was born. During the Christmas season, almost the total emphasis is on a tiny babe who "lay down his sweet head," or a "little Lord" in a manger. Millions pay lip service to the "Christ child"; school children reenact the story of the Savior's birth in pageants and plays. Yet, in all this, it seems virtually none understand what the ultimate destiny of the infant Jesus will be - the office and work that this "child" was prophesied to grow up to perform. To find what this destiny is, let's examine some clear, plain, basic scriptures that speak• about the "Christ child." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
