SUPER CHRISTMAS ARTICLE---DAVID LIMBAUGH
Published on CNS News (http://cnsnews.com)
The Cross Was Preceded by the Cradle
December 23, 2014 - 4:57 AM
God became a man to save us from our sins, which he did finally and completely on the Cross. We commemorate his death and resurrection on Easter, but his suffering on our behalf began much earlier than that. We would do well to remember that at Christmastime, when we celebrate our savior's birth.
Seminary professor Bob Tuttle, in his 2006 book, "Shortening the Leap," puts that in perspective poignantly: "The Jesus of glory still bears the marks of the Incarnation, and not just in his hands, his side and his feet, but in his navel, because the suffering began in the manger, not on the Cross."
Tuttle continues: "All of the Incarnation was a passion narrative — cradle to grave. Mel Gibson's movie The Passion doesn't know the half of it. It hurts God to be squeezed into sperm and implanted in a mama."
Bishop Fulton Sheen, in his "Life of Christ," made this very point as he put Christ's incarnation in terms of a gripping metaphor. "It is hard for a human being to understand the humility that was involved in the Word becoming flesh," wrote Sheen. "Imagine, if it were possible, a human person divesting himself of his body, and then sending his soul into the body of a serpent. A double humiliation would follow: first, accepting the limitations of a serpentine organism, knowing all the while his mind was superior, and that fangs could not adequately articulate thoughts no serpent ever possessed.
"The second humiliation would be to be forced as a result of this 'emptying of self' to live in the companionship of serpents. But all this is nothing compared to the emptying of God, by which He took on the form of man and accepted the limitations of humanity, such as hunger and persecution; not trivial either was it for the Wisdom of God to condemn Himself to association with poor fishermen who knew so little. But this humiliation which began ... when He was conceived in the Virgin Mary was only the first of many to counteract the pride of man, until the final humiliation of death on the Cross."
These great theological thinkers don't make this stuff up. They're not fashioning their theology out of whole cloth. God's revealed Word tells the story.
The writer of Hebrews explains: "Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted."
The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, describes it this way: "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."
I think we sometimes forget to emphasize sufficiently that Christ's selfless, substitutionary death on the Cross so that we could live was preceded by his 30-plus years on this planet as a human being, suffering all the indignities of humanity so that he could fully experience, literally in the flesh, what we created mortals experience — and far worse. (His separation from the Father and his acceptance of God's wrath for all of our past, present and future sins were greater suffering than we could imagine, well beyond anything any of us will ever experience.)
Our God is personal and relational. He created us in his image to enjoy fellowship with him and with one another. Our omniscient Creator doesn't merely understand our suffering intellectually. He doesn't just comprehend our human relationships by way of analogy in the sense that he has always enjoyed fellowship within the Holy Trinity.
Jesus Christ became and remains not just the Deity but a human being who has related to us and continues to relate to us not just as our God but also as a person.
Among the unspeakable marvels of God is that though he is utterly beyond our comprehension — his perfection, his infinity and his wisdom are unfathomable to us — he is also wholly accessible to us. He not only is available but invites us to have a personal relationship with him.
Because he loves us, he died on the Cross for us. But never forget that years before he completed his work on the Cross, he was born for us — as a little, dependent baby in his earthly mother's arms — in Bethlehem.
It is the event of his birth that we celebrate at Christmas, without which there would have been no Cross, without which there would be no life everlasting for us.
Merry Christmas to all.

OUR 2014 CHRISTMAS LETTER !!!
Dear Family
& Friends
Each year we
receive Christmas letters that chronicle the family highlights of the past
year. The time is right for us to return the favor. Here goes:
- First Things First: Shawnee is a mid-size, growing, and ecologically sensitive community. For example---Our mayor had an ordinance passed aimed at cleaning up the city---All carjackers, muggers, and gangbangers are now required to shave.
- How Lucky Can One Family Be ?---This year we won a free cruise---To The Bermuda Triangle. Also, we were selected to be inflight extras on the remake of---Snakes On A Plane. Finally, we were selected as EPA Citizens of the Year. We were awarded our own island---Three Mile Island.
- It Can Get Windy On The Prairie---In addition to tornados we get some big straight line winds. This Spring it was so windy Superman was walking. A lady who lives on a farm told me the wind was so strong that one of her “layin’ hens” laid the same egg twice!
- Personal Achievements: Bought a million dollar life insurance policy for $89.47 from the Acme Insurance and Barn Painting Company. Invited to address the Million Mime March. Got in on the opening of a sequin mine in Las Vegas for $.17 per share. I went big and bought 100 shares. Chosen to be the Grand Marshall of the 1st Annual All Girl Harmonica Band Marching Parade.
- Achievements of Grandchildren: Grandson won first place in a school science fair contest. His prize was a “Do It Yourself Atomic Bomb Kit”. The line below a big mushroom cloud on the box cover read “Be the first kid in your block to be the only kid in your block!” Granddaughter placed second in the “Why Barbie Inspires Young Girls” theme contest. She received the entire New Realistic Barbie Collection. After she went to bed, Ken and Barbie climbed out of the second story bedroom window, went to town and got high and came home after 4:30am. Our granddaughter tried to ground Barbie; however, she grabbed a few clothes and went out on the lawn, woke Ken up, caught a cab, and headed to LA. Goodbye Inspiration!
As you can
see, 2014 was an especially good year for us.

LOVE THE SECOND TIME AROUND !
RAYMOND LAY FLAT OF HIS BACK STARING AT THE CEILING. RAYMOND HAD NEVER BEEN IN BED WITH ANY WOMAN OTHER THAN HIS LATE WIFE, BETH.
THE CRISP 600 COUNT SHEETS GAVE A MAGICAL CLEAN, CONFIDENT FEELING T0 RAYMOND. HIS NEW BRIDE , MARGARET, WAS STILL IN THE MOTEL HONEYMOON SUITE BATHROOM PREPARING TO JOIN RAYMOND IN THE SUPER KING SIZE, HEART-SHAPED BED.
MARGARET EMERGED FROM THE BATHROOM AND QUICKLY TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND WITHOUT COMMENT LAY ABOUT TWO FEET FROM HER 57 YEAR OLD SECOND HUSBAND.
RAYMOND CONTINUED TO NOT MOVE HIS HEAD; HOWEVER, HE SLOWLY INCHED HIS LEFT HAND TOWARD THE 49 YEAR RICH WIDOW.
THE SLOW, UNANNOUNCED MOVEMENT OF HIS HAND PERMITTED RAYMOND TO REFLECT UPON THEIR WHIRL WIND ROMANCE THAT SHOCKED THEIR CHILDREN, OTHER RELATIVES, AND WORK ASSOCIATES OF BOTH THE BRIDE AND GROOM.
HIS STEALTHY HAND ADVANCE WAS STOPPED BY MARGARET'S RIGHT HAND. SHE PUSHED HIS HAND BACK TO HIS LEFT SIDE. RAYMOND WAS MORE THAN A LITTLE UPSET BY HER REJECTION OF HIS WELL INTENDED LOVING ADVANCES.
BOTH LAY SILENT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. MARGARET SPOKE FIRST AND SAID, "RAY HONEY, AREN'T YOU GOING TO KISS YOUR SUGAR MOMMY GOOD NIGHT?"
RAYMOND SWALLOWED HARD (AFTER ALL SHE HAD 4 MILLION DOLLARS) AND ROLLED TO HER AND STARTED TO KISS HER WHEN HE WAS STUNNED BY HER GREENISH-BROWN MUD FACIAL AND SLICED CUCUMBERS ON EACH CLOSED EYE!
WHEN RAYMOND SAW THIS SCARY FACIAL HE RETREATED TO HIS ORIGINAL POSITION. THIS CAUSED MARGARET TO ALMOST DEMAND, "RAY HONEY, AT LEAST TELL ME GOODNIGHT."
RAYMOND DID NOT HESITATE, "GOODNIGHT SWAMP !!!!"

A SINGLE FAMILY CAN POLUTE A CITY OR PLANET
ON A FAR AWAY, BACKWARD PLANET WHICH WAS PLAGUED WITH CHRONIC UNEMPLOYMENT AND ASSOCIATED SOCIAL PROBLEMS THERE LIVED MANY UNHAPPY PEOPLE.
ONE SUCH MALCONTENTED FAMILY POOLED ALL OF THEIR RESOURCES AND BOUGHT A USED ROCKETSHIP AND TRAVELED TO THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORING PLANET.
THEY LOCATED ON THE NEW PLANET IN A COMMUNITY ALREADY SETTLED BY A FEW FAMILIES FROM THEIR OLD PLANET.
INSTEAD OF LAUNCHING THEIR NEW LIFE WITH HARD WORK AND COOPERATION, THEY SOUGHT WAYS TO STEAL AND HOODWINK THEIR NEW NEIGHBORS.
AS THEIR FAMILY RAPIDLY GREW SO TOO DID THEIR REPUTATION FOR EVIL AND WICKED BEHAVIOR.
SOON THEIR FAMILY NAME BECAME A BYWORD FOR SHORTCUTS, BRIBES, FIGHTS, AND DRUNKNESS.
THEIR REPUTATION BECAME SO BAD THAT SOME MEMBERS OF THIS BAD FAMILY LIED ABOUT THEIR ANCESTRY.
AFTER MANY DECADES, OTHER FAMILIES FROM THE OLD PLANET CAME TO THE NEW PLANET AND SOUGHT TO CORRECT A VERY BAD SITUATION.
THEY......

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A SINGLE LETTER MAKES
IN GOVERNMENT 101 AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY IN THE FALL OF 1959 OUR YOUNG PROF SAID AT THE OUTSET HE WANTED US TO BE SURE WE SPELLED WORDS CORRECTLY.
AS AN EXAMPLE HE POINTED OUT THE OMISSION OF JUST ONE LETTER IN "PUBLIC" CHANGED THE MEANING COMPLETELY. I FOUND IT STRANGE THAT THE SORORITY GIRLS WHO ALWAYS SAT UP FRONT SEEMED TO GET THE JOKE FIRST. MOST OF US BACK ROW COUNTRY BOYS WERE EITHER TOO DUMB OR TOO EMBARRASSED TO LAUGH.
BY THE WAY, THE PROF WOUND UP DATING ONE OF THE POOR LITTLE GIRLS WHO SAT UP FRONT. SHE WAS A BEAUTY CONTEST WINNER. HER BLONDE BEAUTY WAS SIMPLY ELECTRIC. OF COURSE AT 18, IT DIDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH TO IMPRESS ME! BACK THEN, GIRLS COULD NOT WEAR JEANS OR SLACKS TO CLASS. SHE HAD CLOTHES THAT SHE WORE WELL---VERY WELL !
COUPLE MORE COMMENTS ON GOV 101. I GOT A "D" ON THE FIRST ESSAY EXAM WITH A NOTE THAT I WAS ON THE VERGE OF FLUNKING THE COURSE. SOMETHING INSIDE SAID I COULD DO MORE THAN FLUNK AND GOT WITH AND GOT"A's" ON THE REMAINDER OF THE COURSE AND AN "A" FOR THE COURSE. THIS WAS MAYBE MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AT PURDUE.
THIS GUY WAS A KOREAN WAR VET. HIS HAIR WAS SNOW WHITE AND HE WAS ABOUT 28 YEARS OLD. SEEMS IT WENT WHITE WHILE COMMANDING AN ARMY COMPANY IN KOREA.
HIS OUTSIDE OF CLASS PASSION---BEYOND GIRLS---WAS BOXING. HE WAS A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PROFESSIONAL BOXING TRIVIA.
