King of Kings! Lord of Lords!

  Although the opera company that sponsored this event have labeled it a "Random Act of Culture," Christians will see it as much more.
  THIS is the impact of our religion. The Christian faith is one of love of Christ and others, generosity, sacrifice and a profound belief in the sovereignty of God Himself. 
  This flash mob of 650 singers, whether they realize it or not, exemplifies the love of Christ for humans as they sing the Hallelujah Chorus in a Philadelphia Macy's last year.
  Watch the instinctively raised hands toward the heavens. 
  Watch the wonder on the faces of those who are caught unaware, stopped in the middle of the materialism of what the season has become, reminded of the beauty that is Christ Himself.
  This is Christianity, what our religion is about. 
  Not killing. 
  Not condemning others to be punished, either physically or emotionally. 
  Not taking, but giving. 
  Not condescension, but empathy. 
  Not smugness, but humility. 
  They can cut down trees that have historical Christian meaning.
  They can remove the baby Jesus from the public places, while leaving the religious symbols of other religions.
  They can treat Him as the Name Which Shall Not Be Spoken.
  They can replace His name with a safer, pagan word to commemorate these days.
  What they can't do is remove Him from the hearts of the millions of people who love Him. They can't crucify Him again. They can't remove Him from the world and the Heavens.
  After all, He rules. 
  Everybody's gonna have to figure that out some day.
