The Wonder of Christmas
Wonder: A feeling of admiration caused by something beautiful.
"For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor. Mighty God. Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6.
(Isaiah prophesied of Jesus birth 700 years before His birth.)
Christmas...is almost here. Our trees are trimmed, our gifts are wrapped, anticipation stirs the air. Many Christians are preparing their hearts for Jesus birth. An event that was so beautiful, so incredible, so incomprehensible, that it would literally change the world forever. A monumental tasks for a tiny baby. This perfect and precious child that was conceived by the Holy Spirit was sent to earth to save His people from their sins. He took it upon Himself our humanity. He was born in the shadow of the cross to redeem us from our sin. What if Jesus had never been born, would it have made a difference? EVERYTHING!! We would have no atonement of our sin, no resurrection from the dead, no hope of eternal life, and no Savior to call a friend. The night Jesus was born Mary must have held her baby close. Kissed His soft cheek, and wept quietly in the wonder of it all.
"Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. Luke 2:13-14.
"When we lose our wonder, we are prone to wander."
May you have a beautifully blessed Christmas,
Jo
