As a little boy looked at his
Christmas tree with all the trim
nrinft the/angel and star caught
hts eye. He remembered daddy
tellings the Christmas story
ftonrr thf Bible. How the angel
told th£ shepherds in the field
about Jesus on a cold winter
night. How the wise men fol
lowed the star until they came
to Jesus. How they gave Jesus
gifts of gold, frankincense -and
ijiyTrh. How Jesus was born and
wtas laid in a manger. His bed
was .hay and he had cattle
ato«mi him, I suppose. This
God’s son, the saviour of
tlj* tyorld. Today, two thousand

God gave us the most

bjgjiborn again, it’s a gift God
'wants everyone to have if we

.we Will .burn' in hell. Let’s help

Sunday School Lesson
BORN TO MAKE MEN FREE
International Sunday School
Lesson for December 22, 1963.
Memory Selection: “When the
time had fully come, God sent
forth his Son, born of woman,
born under the law, to redeem
those who were under the law,
so that we might receive adop
tion as sons.”
(Galatians 4:4-5)
The cause of freedom its
seeking, its defending has
been the goal of mankind ever
since the world began. Down
through the ages men have
struggled for freedom of one
kind or another . . . the right to
think; the right to speak free
ly what is in one’s mind and
heart; the right to believe; and
for this great goal martyrs have
been made, and man’s blood has
meen spilt, just as the blood
of Jesus Christ was shed to bring
about the greatest freedom of
all the freedom of mankind
from sin and his glorious re
demption in God.
Today we study the ever
beautiful story of Christmas.
Down through the ages it has
stayed unchanged; the same
story is told over and over
again, but the listener never
tires of hearing it.
The miracle of Christmas is
that God came to dwell among
mankind not as an omnipo
tent Being, but as a tiny human,
going through all the motions
of human beings, from infancy
to manhood. This God-like child,
despite his great destiny that
was yet to unfold in the great
est drama the world has ever
known, lived the life of a normal
child of his times and of the
faith into which he had been
born. He observed the ritual
requirements of Jewish law. He
went to the Temple at the hour
of prayer. The law under which
devout Jewish families lived had
served them well, and Jesus

A,
paid it the compliment of living
obediently by it. But Christ
would, in the end, do for men
what law could not do. Laws
fulfilled their purpose by con
victing man for his sons, and
making him aware of them. The
law condemned . . . but Christ
came to save.
The Jews, and Paul, before
his conversion, believed that ac
ceptance by God depended upon
full and explicit obedience to the
Mosiac law. After his conver
sion, Paul realized the narrow
confines of his beliefs, and he
preached “redemption” with the
same zeal that he had lavished
on his previous convictions, be
fore he saw the Light. He said,
in effect, that men, through their
slavery to sin and the law, had
orphaned themselves; but now,
in the birth of Christ, as related
in the Christmas story, God had
sent his Son to depossess them
as his children; and as his sons,
they would also become his heirs.
But with inheritance comes ste
wardship. With every privilege
comes certain responsibility.
In Christ there is a freedom
which no man can take away.
The sons of God must of neces
sity feel impelled to share the
true meaning of Christ’s birth
with their fellow-men.
Just how great is the need for
this sharing of our Christian be
liefs is self-evident when we
consider the stress and strain of
this modern civilization in which
we live. The world, through
and because of the awe-inspiring
achievements of the questing
minds of men in the realms of
science and machinery, has of
necessity become smaller. Time
and distance have been com
pressed to the nth degree. This
has brought about a sense of
brotherhood among the respon
sible nationsof the world. A
country with sick and starving
citizens has come within the
reach of another more fortunate
than it, and is within the rang;-
