History is full of invasions as country after country has attacked another. Many invasions have changed the course of human history. Which one has had the most powerful effect on humanity?
I agree with C.S. Lewis who believed that the most powerful invasion in human history wasn’t a military invasion at all. It was a nonviolent invasion and was hardly noticed at the time. However, today this invasion is celebrated around the globe.
The nation of Israel was invaded by a powerful Conqueror in the most unusual way. He entered the country as a new born babe. We call this invasion — when the Creator became a human and invaded planet Earth — Christmas.
Untold millions of people have personally believed that the man we call Jesus was the invasion of the living God into human flesh. Others write off this invasion as a myth.
However, the effect of this invasion on those who believe in and obey the resurrected and living Jesus, has been profound. Countless men and women have been transformed by this Invader from selfish to selfless, from grabbing to giving, from success seeking to sacrifice. Much of the good in our Western Civilization has been inspired and carried out by those who sought to daily love and obey Jesus Christ the Conqueror. Has He conquered you?
