A Star Will Point The Way


Well, we've officially reached the end of 3 days left for IMAGINE CHRISTMAS.  I know, I just can't believe it.  And folks, I have to tell you that I've been excited from the beginning.  I mean, I'm a producer and even talking through the plan for this program thrilled me.  But now that all the elements are coming together, I can't even explain to you the level that my excitement has reached!  You'll just have to see it to believe it!  This is a show where no IMAGINATION of what could be accomplished was spared.  And it comes out in every element.  You should see Uprising dancing in the opening number!  You should see how precious all the kids are!  You should hear how GLORIOUS the choir sounds!  Wait, there's a theme here... YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS SHOW!  It is a collaboration of so many people who dared to dream BIG!  And I have to tell you that I believe that they have all delivered!  And better than that, God has blessed all of their effort and hard work all along the way.  This is something so special, you've just got to share it with someone!  How easy it is to invite a friend, neighbor, co-worker, family member.  And here is one element that will show you just how big our IMAGINATIONS took us...THE STAR!
OH, it is amazing!  And I'm sure the Bethlehem Star that pointed the way for all those who had been looking for generations for "The Long-Awaited One".  It guided those Wisemen from a far.  It shed light in that dark, cold cave when Mary gave birth to God's Son, Jesus.  This light got the attention of those Shepherds who came to adore this Holy Infant.  But truth be told, the rest of Bethlehem just missed it.  It was just an ordinary night and that was just a bright and pretty star.  And in the midst of the ordinary, came the extraordinary!  Emmanuel, God With Us!  The beginning of the road of redemption of God's final creation - MAN!  What about you?  Take a look at your Bethlehem.  There are so many, busy people.  And they are missing it.  The One who can bring them peace.  The One who gave His life so that they can know life eternal.  The One who bring comfort and guidance to every moment of every day.  Wake up your Bethlehem.  Don't let the ordinary miss the extraordinary!  The message is timeless and speaks for itself.  Let's just fill that room with folks who need to be touched by the EXTRAORDINARY Himself.  Jesus!
