Do You Recognize Christ In Christmas?
Not long ago, a professor of psychology in one of our great
universities gave a word suggestion test to his class of 40 students. He
instructed them to write the word "Christmas," and all the
class did so. "Now," said the professor, "right after the
word 'Christmas' write the first thought that flashes through your mind
regarding that day." When the papers were turned in, such answers
were given as "tree," "holly,"
"mistletoe," "presents," "turkey,"
"holiday," "carols," and "Santa Claus,"
but not one had written, "the birthday of Jesus." As there was
no room for the baby Jesus in the inn, there is often no room for Him
today in the celebration of Christmas.
