See the bright and shining star? It hovers over the greatest
miracle on earth; the birth of a Savior, the baby Jesus, the One who came to
save us. Sit in solemn wonder and fill your heart with the awe of it. It is the
greatest story ever told and the greatest gift given to mankind. He came for
you.
This innocent child
would grow into the sinless man, fully man and fully God. He took our place.
This Christmas be reminded of the miracle that is Jesus at His first coming,
His most humble beginnings, born in a manger in the presence of common
shepherds.
In His second
coming, we will see Him in full majesty as the King of Kings and the Lord of
Lords. He came as a Lamb. He will come back as a Lion. Bow in reverence and
solemn wonder.
But the
angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause
great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born
to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 2:10-11
Jesus,
Don’t let us get comfortable with the Christmas story and take
it for granted. Give us the true hope and joy of the miraculous moment when You
came into this world. The Son of God, the light of the world, the Messiah, the
Lord stepped from eternity into space and time. Glory to God in the highest and
on earth peace goodwill toward men. (luke 2)
Amen
