collect as much clothing as possible to benefit The Salvation Army – last year, the students collected more than 26,000 articles of clothing. The Adult Rehabilitation Center operates two local Family Thrift Stores, the proceeds from which support the facility’s work with men recovering from substance abuse and other issues. Students at Oak Hills High School collected clothing for the last two weeks. The home room that collected the most clothing at the end of the collection competition will receive a tour of Paul Brown Stadium, with Frostee Rucker as their personal tour guide. “We’re delighted to have the support of Frostee and the Oak Hills community for this collection,” said Major Nancy Beauchamp, administrator at the Adult Rehabilitation Center in Norwood. “Our men face many challenges

The signs all around us declare the arrival of yet another Christmas season. Though today in the public domain it is much less obvious, we do know that this season has something to do with the birth of a baby. But this is no ordinary baby to be sure. Before this baby’s birth, the angel affirmed to Mary that the child to be conceived in her by the Holy Spirit would be great and called “the Son of the Highest” (Luke 1:32) to the shepherds that in Bethlehem they would find a baby who was “Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). The details of this baby’s birth would fulfill the ancient words of the Prophet Isaiah who foretold that a virgin would be with child and bear a Son and His name would be called Emmanuel, which means “God with us.” (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23) Unlike any other ever born, this baby Jesus was both fully God and fully man. The old, familiar Christmas carol got it right, “veiled in flesh the God-head see, hail Incarnate Deity, pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel.” Mary held in her arms the God-man, the Creator and sustainer of all things. What wonder! What mystery! Surely, the greatest miracle ever! It stands to reason that if the God of the universe shows up on our doorstep enwrap in human flesh that inquiring minds would want to know why. Why such a miracle surpassing all others? The Bible does not leave us to wonder; very simply this special baby came on a rescue mission. The angel told Joseph to name Mary’s baby Jesus, “for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). For that same reason the shepherds were told not to fear for a “Savior” is born this night. We might rightly fear a heavenlyy visitation of angels, but more so of holy God Himself in a visi vvisitation isi is sita ta flesh fles fle es amidst unholy people. But the th he good news of Christmas is tthat God did not send His Son iinto in n the world to condemn iit,t but rather that the world

might be saved through Him (John 3:17). Despite all this, we might rightly wonder if this greatest of miracles is missed or is seen as insignificant in our day. It seems that Santa is worshipped, not the Savior, and pilgrims go to the store with credit cards, not to the manger with gifts. It is the feast of indulgence, not of the incarnation. Worse still, the “Jesus” of the culture seems to resemble more Santa Claus than the holy Son of God. Many prefer a Santa Christ to make them happy and prosperous rather than an Almighty Savior to save them from their sins. These things were also true in the days when Jesus was born. Some had no interest in Him, others despised and rejected Him because they had no room for a holy God in a manger. He was not the kind of “savior” envisioned or desired. But to others convinced of their great need of just such a Savior, this child born to Mary was one clothed with divine power to save them from their sins and impart to them the gift of eternal life. And all this by God’s free and unmerited favor received through faith in His Son. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to be called the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). We at Bible Chapel of Delhi Hills rejoice in this the greatest of miracles and stand in amazement of God’s grace and mercy in sending such a Savior into our world. We extend an invitation for you to come and join with us each week as we seek to know more of the good news of the One born as the friend and Savior of sinners. Services: Sunday School at 9:30 a.m.; worship, 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.; Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. We are located at 705 Pontius Road across from Story Woods Park behind the Rapid Run Middle School.
