Spear-Cartoon_3573, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Cartoon of two boys in the cold. One says, “So Santa Claus only likes you if you are on his nice list? What a grump!”

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16, King James Version)

Santa is a nice guy, but one thing I always had a problem with is I never knew if I was on his naughty or nice list. Is it possible I could be nice the whole year but end up on the naughty list because of that unfortunate incident I was in on March 26?

That’s why I’m glad God doesn’t play those games. He loved us so much that he sent Jesus to take the place for our sins. What an incredible gift! You and I didn’t deserve any good treatment. But God loves us anyway. We can be on His list and that’s a list I don’t want to miss!

Cartoon: A Long Trip

Cartoon of two boys in car seats. The older boy says, “Brace yourself! This is at least a four dvd trip.”

I based this cartoon on Luke 2:1-5

 1-5About that time Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the Empire. This was the first census when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be accounted for. So Joseph went from the Galilean town of Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David’s town, for the census. As a descendant of David, he had to go there. He went with Mary, his fiancée, who was pregnant. (Luke 2:1-5, The Message)

 There’s nothing like a long trip, is there? It’s nice we have modern luxuries like dvd players and video games these days, but when you have an eight hour trip ahead of you, you’re still going to feel like it will take forever.

God had a plan for Joseph and Mary as they made the long trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem. It was seventy to ninety miles, depending on the route they took. It could have taken three to seven days, especially with an expectant mother. The couple may have been wondering what this was all about.

Yet it worked perfectly with prophecy. Micah 5:2 said the Messiah would come from Bethlehem. Yet, Isaiah 9:2 said he would come from Galilee. There was a plan all along.

May you have a merry Christmas this year, and find a way to enjoy your trip as you go over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house.

Spear-Cartoon_3571, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Cartoon of two kids at a present. The boy says, “Of course I’ll be home for Christmas! That’s where the presents are!”

This comic is based on Luke 2:1-7

There are always reasons to get upset. The furnace may be acting up. The dog or cat decides to leave a “present” on the floor and illness can hit our families. Financial issues are plaguing everyone which just adds stress to schools and the workplace. Life can get pretty hairy at times.

Sometimes, I just want to be home for Christmas. The holy family didn’t get that chance when Jesus was born. Joseph needed to find a place for them in a crowded city. Mary couldn’t have been comfortable no matter how much Joseph tried. Difficult is an understatement. Yet, they did what they had to do.

This Christmas, I’m going to remember the sacrifice Jesus and His family made. For a brief moment, a stable was home to a new, exhausted family. And that was where the best present of all was.
