A Merry Christmas

Charles Haddon Spurgeon December 23, 1860Scripture: Job 1:4-5From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Volume 7

A Merry Christmas

“And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.” – Job 1:4-5

     Job was an exceedingly happy man before his great trial. He was as much blessed in the fruit of his body as in his basket and in his store. Our text gives us a very pleasing picture of Job’s family. He was a happy man to have had so many children all comfortably settled in life; for you will perceive that they all had houses; they had left his roof; they had all established themselves, and had so prospered in the world that there was not one of them who had not enough of the world’s goods to entertain all the rest. So that it seemed as if Job’s prosperity in his business had attended his children in the different places where they had settled. To add to his comfort, they were an undivided family: not like Abraham’s household, where there was an Esau, and a Jacob who sought to supplant him; nor like Jacob’s household, where there was Joseph, and all the rest of his brethren were envious and jealous of him; nor like the other. Job’s descendants were a large tribe; but they were all united and knit together in bonds of perfect happiness; and moreover they seem to have had a great desire to preserve their unity as a family. Perhaps Job and his family were the only ones who feared god in the neighbourhood; they wished therefore to keep themselves together as a little flock of sheep in the midst of wolves, as a cluster of stars in the midst of the thick darkness; and what a brilliant constellation they were, all of them shining forth and proclaiming the truth of God! I say it was their desire not only to enjoy pleasantness and peace, but to maintain it; for I think that these annual meetings at the difference houses were intended to knit them together, so that if any little strife had arisen, as soon as they met at the next brother’s house all might be settled, and the whole hose might go on again shoulder to shoulder, and foot to foot, as one phalanx of soldiers of God. I think Job must have been a right happy man. I do not know that he always went to their feasts; perhaps the soberness of age might have a little disqualified him for joining in their youthful enjoyments; but I am sure he commended their feasting; I am quite certain he did not condemn it. If he had condemned it he would never have offered sacrifice to God, lest they should have sinned, but he would have told them at once it was a sinful thing, and that he could give no countenance to it. I think I see the happy group, so happy and holy that surely if David had been there, he would have said, “Behold how good and pleasant a thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” But Job was a godly man, and so godly, that unlike Eli, he brought up his household in the fear of God, and was not only quick to observe any known sin, but was exceedingly jealous over his children, lest secretly and inadvertently in their hearts, while they were at their loaded tables, they might have said or thought anything which might be termed blaspheming God. He therefore as soon as the feasting was over, called them all together, and then as a preacher, told them of the danger to which they were exposed, and as a priest, (for every patriarch before the law was a priest) he offered burnt sacrifices, lest any sin should be any possibility remain upon his sons and daughters. So saith the text; I pray that now we may have grace to listen to it; and may what we shall now hear abide with us during the coming week, when some of you shall meet together in your own houses! May God grant that our parents, or we, if we be parents, may be as Jobs, and when the feasting shall be over, may there come the sacrifice and the prayer, lest we should have sinned and blasphemed God in our hearts!

     I shall divide my sermon thus. First, the text, and that is festive: so we will ring a merry bell. Secondly, that which is in the text, and that is instructive: so we will ring the sermon bell. And, thirdly, that which follows the text, and that is afflictive: so we will ring the funeral bell.

     I. First, then, the text itself, and that is festive: let us therefore, RING THE MERRY BELL. I think I hear distinctly three notes in its merry peal. First, the text gives a license; secondly, it suggests a caution; and thirdly, it provides a remedy.

‘Brilliant’: Donald Trump’s Christmas message trolls the ‘radical left’

Sky News host Gabriella Power reacts to US President-elect Donald Trump’s Christmas message. “It is brilliant,” Ms Power said. “Trolling the radical left who always try to find a way to ruin this special and holy day.”

As Brexit foreshadowed Donald Trump’s victory in 2016, the defeat of Kamala Harris and the Democrats this year was preceded by the fall of globalists in Europe, as Trumpism and the populist message began to erode power structures across the Atlantic.

Upon entering office in 2016, Trump was not only faced with opposition at home, in the form of Democrats, the ‘Russiagate’ conspiracy-purveying deep state, and neo-cons and other opponents in his own party, but also by leaders in Europe with firm power bases that enabled them to push back against the aims of the first Trump administration.

Now, eight years later, as Trump prepares to take back the reigns of power in Washington and the domestic opposition in disarray, those who would seek to thwart his vision for the world in capitals like Berlin, Brussels, London, or Paris have largely either fallen by the wayside or have been brought low by fleeting legitimacy in their homelands and abroad.

Meanwhile, Trumpism appears to be catching on in Europe, with key figures in the international populist movement making major gains this year and in some cases entering into government in countries where it would have been unthinkable even just a few years ago.

Although the world has broken out into chaos in Trump’s absence, with wars erupting in both Europe and the Middle East, in many respects the global chessboard appears much more favourable to the MAGA position. Here’s a look at some of the key areas of the board and the pieces left standing:
