A Wonderful Life

This past Christmas, we all watched numerous reruns of past Holiday movies like: “Christmas Story” and “It's A Wonderful Life”. My favorite is “It’s a Wonderful Life”. It’s a good, heartwarming story. James Stewart is a struggling banker who learns that even though life on earth isn't perfect, it can be wonderful. We may have trials and troubles, we may miss out on some of our dreams, but still, it's a wonderful life.

Christians, more than anyone else, should believe this. We can all say that It is a Wonderful Life, because a relationship with Jesus makes it wonderful. We don't live in a perfect world; there is sorrow and sadness and misery and violence and poverty and hunger and war and injustice everywhere. If I didn't believe in God I would be overwhelmed with the futility of it all. But the fact is, because of God's involvement with the human race, life is not futile. In spite of the problems in our lives...even in the midst of the problems in our lives...we can experience an abundance of joy—because God has made this a wonderful life thru His Son Jesus Christ.
