The Star of Christmas
In today's Tennessean , I've come to realize , the editors have long known about the truth of the Star of Bethlehem. It was no star , or even the alignment of three planets. It was the blinding glare of advertising lights , from the 3 signs , at the only camel crossing in town.
The Christmas story is not about the birth of Christ. It's the story of how commercialism saved our greedy sins , from Christ's bloody redemption.
I want to thank THE TENNESSEAN , for sharing the truth with all of us.
And , I want to thank God for giving us THE TENNESSEAN , for whose advertisements ( no doubt ) guided the 3 wise men across an otherwise , heartless , dark and blackened desert. No doubt , it was from reading those advertised specials and the annual flea market , found only in Bethlehem , that got their attention with some great gift giving ideas , on this auspicious holiday of holidays.
