To Rule;....or to Serve?

Our military has the power to obliterate any nation on earth within minutes;...but we don't. We could take the oil we need from Iraq by force;...but, we don't. We could rule the world with an iron fist;...but, instead;....choose to serve. Peace , love, compassion , to love your fellow man as you love yourself .These are the principles that , "We the People" live by;.. the principles our nation was founded on;...the principles of a Carpenter from Nazareth. We, as a Nation , celebrate Christmas to remember the man who taught us the greatest lesson of all ;...to love your fellow man , as you love yourself. This message is the Rock; upon which our great Nation was built . The Rock of Christianity . The Rock of Freedom. But, one question still lingers;...Was this child , born in a manger in the town of Bethlehem over 2000 years ago ;....the Son of God? Jesus himself gave the best response to this question in the Gospel of John;..'If I am not doing the work of my Father;..do not believe in me, but , if I am doing his work , and you still do not believe ;...believe in the work I do'. This Christmas , let's all believe in that work ;...and, as a Nation , continue it.
