Christmas, yeah, yeah, yeah, I am actually following suit and doing a Christmas blog. But this one may seem a bit different then what we might think when we consider Christmas from a Christian point of view. But I think it is where we need to start, let’s start at the beginning.
In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth (Genesis 1:1), and in the beginning was Jesus (John1:1) but more than just being there we see that Jesus is one with God and that through Him all things were made and without Him nothing has ever been made (John1:3) in Him is Life and that life was the light of men (John1:4). Jesus was and is and will be the reason all things ever exist. Romans says (Romans 11:36) For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. He is the former, he is the potter, He is the word that brought everything from nothing and He is the one through whom all things exist. Here is where your brain might start hurting…
The Psalmist David wrote this directed towards the creator (Psalms 139:13) “You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” I do not believe it is a stretch to say that this verse applies to every human being ever. So here is an interesting thought. Jesus, took the womb of a lady about 15 to 18 years before he himself would be born, and started a wonderful work as he does miraculously every day, he started to form and create the most beautiful thing, a human. This human was like any other human. Jesus knit together in the womb the human daughter of Eve, that even though sinful from conception, would be the home and entry point of his own human form. Yes Jesus himself knit together the womb and body of his own mother who would be the womb that he himself would willingly go into humbling himself and taking the form of man (Philippians2:8). Imagine the humanity of Christ, he knit cells, created trees, formed stars and holds the cosmos in place by his word. And just moments (in comparison to eternity) before he would take on humanity, he finished knitting together his own mother. And then that child born on straw, perfect, without blemish or without spot entered into a world that was filled with hatred and sin and evil, the likes of which sought out his death just moments after his birth. A helpless child that through cries and babbling and cooing held together the very fiber of all that existed, including the cells that held his mother and fathers body but also his own, think about that, Jesus is the only being to ever actually have total control of his own cells.
So in the joy of Christmas as we see nativity scenes on corners and sitting on our fireplace hearths let’s not forget as sweet and tender as that night must have been, the other side is the mighty, glorious, incomprehendible huge picture of what that meant, it was the coming of the savior, the hero, the one whom all creation, ALL CREATION was and is and has been longing for. He came as a man to save men, and he will come again as the warrior to finally claim his kingdom, may all the glory and honor and power and dominion be unto him as it is rightfully his as he has laid claim to it from the moment he created it.
What is the love of your life? If your answer is anything but Jesus and bringing God glory than you have failed the ultimate test of what we are on this earth for. This website is devoted to My Lover, God, who has given me everything. I will seek to bring Him the glory due His name through sharing about my Life, My family, My ministry, and my thoughts about life and faith.
