CHRISTMAS SOLIDARITY
The reason the Son of
God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
—1 John 3:8
The assembly line of Satan turns out millions of sins every day.
He packs them into huge cargo planes and flies them to heaven and spreads them
out before God and laughs and laughs and laughs. Some people work full-time on
the assembly line. Others have quit their jobs there and only now and then
return. Every minute of work on the assembly line makes God the laughing stock
of Satan. Sin is Satan’s business because he hates the light and beauty and
purity and glory of God. Nothing pleases him more than when creatures distrust
and disobey their Maker. Therefore, Christmas is good news for man and good news for
God.
“The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). That’s good news
for us. “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the
devil” (1 John 3:8). That’s good news for God. Christmas is good news for God
because Jesus has
come to lead a strike at Satan’s assembly plant. He has walked
right into the plant, called for the Solidarity of the faithful, and begun a
massive walk-out. Christmas is a call to go on strike at the assembly plant of
sin. No negotiations with the management. No bargaining. Just single-minded,
unswerving opposition to the product. Christmas Solidarity aims to ground the
cargo planes. It will not use force or violence, but with relentless devotion to
Truth it will expose the life-destroying conditions of the devil’s industry. Christmas
Solidarity will not give up until a complete shutdown has been achieved. When
sin has been destroyed, God’s name will be wholly exonerated. No one will be
laughing at him anymore. If you want to give a gift to God this Christmas, walk
off the assembly line and never go back. Take up your place in the picket line
of love. Join Christmas Solidarity until the majestic name of God is cleared
and he stands glorious amid the accolades of the righteous
