The same year I wrote “The Mystery of Christmas Love” (see MY POEMS OF CHRISTMAS #5), I did another homemade Christmas card, using this poem. Again, I was using the occasion of our common Christmas celebration to tell the whole Gospel story....
THIS CHRISTMAS WHY NOT. . .
Think about the Savior,
Descending here to earth
And trading Heaven's glories
For lowly Virgin Birth.
Think about the Savior,
About the truths He taught,
About the sinless life He lived . . .
The miracles He wrought.
Think about the Savior
Arising from the dead
And going back to Heaven,
Thus, proving all He'd said.
Think about the Savior
Who's waiting to receive
Each sinner who is willing
To trust Him and believe.
Yes, think about Christ Jesus,
This season, with concern;
For He is not just Savior
But Judge, at His return.
— David L. Hatton, 12/1972
