-~ Orono weekîy lTimes, Wednesday, Decemnber 19, 1990-17 A. Christmas Mes sage rýom Orono United Church Are you ready for Christrnas? I was asked that question recently. 1 have.gifts to buy, letters towrite, visits to rnake, serrnons to prepare - ail before Christrnas day. I wonder if l'Il ever bc ready. But Christrnas is corning sornething like the game of hide and seek - "Ready or not, here 1 corne." The prophet Isaiah called out - "Get Ready for the Corning of the Lord." Not rnany people listened - Mary & Joseph, a few shepherds, and wisernen, a couple of seniors - Sirneon & Anna - but most people weren't ready for Fis corning. John says - "He was in the world and though the world has made by Hirn it didn't recognize Hirn. He came to Him but His own did flot receive lirn." (John 1: 11) 1 wonder if you & I would have recognized Mmr? And now in our busy Christmnas celebrations we need t stop and ask ourselves: Have we any roon for Jesus? The hyrnn writer C.C. Willliams puts it this way - "Roomt for pleasures, room for business But, for Christ the crucified, Not a place that He can enter In the heart for which He died? Room for Jesus, King of glory, Hasten now, His word obey, Swing your hearts door widely open, Bid Hirn enter while you rnay." Maybe the question needs to bc changed - Are you ready for Je-sus? When he carne before not rnany welcorned Him but to those who did receive Hirn - "Who Believed In His Name, He Gave "Me Right To'Becorne Children 0f God." (John 1:12) Those who welcorne Jesus, God's one and only sorte - will bc welcorned by our Heavenly Father. Jesus carne and He is corning again. Are you ready? Isaiah said - "Get ready for the corning of the Lord." and Jesus said - "So you also rnust be ready because the son of rnan will corne at an hour when yen do not expect Hirn." (Matthcw 24:44) Are you ready, this Christrnas, for a special visitor that want to corne into our hearts and homnes to stay? Jesus said, "Behold 1 stand at the door. If anyone hears rny voice and opens the door, I wiIl corne in (Revelation 3:20) Jesus ready?? is coring!! Are you Rev.
