With the celebration of Christ's birth at hand, I'm reminded of this beautiful, hopeful passage in C.S. Lewis' book, The Last Battle. The birth of Christ changed everything. Everything. Having heard the Christmas story many times, it is easy to forget the tremendous reality of who He is and what His birth means. Christ saves us. He brings us into a bigger story, a bigger purpose. He gives us hope for the world now and after death. In Christ, we can see God face to face someday. In Christ, this is the exciting hope we can look forward to - it brings tears to my eyes every time:
"All
their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only
been the cover and the title page: now at last they were beginning
Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which
goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before."
