Making babies, it's a boy!

     

     Earlier this year, a new member was added to the British Royal family. Baby George appeared to Will and Kate, causing much fanfare and excitement throughout the world. 

     The news media beamed his picture across the world for all of us to see. 

     

     Over two thousand years ago, when no one was looking, another baby was born. He, too, was royalty as He was the King of Kings.  
     But, his coming was simply announced by a beautiful concert of heavenly angels, to a raggedy, old bunch of shepherds outside of Bethlehem. 

     His birth was unlike any other in all of history. This baby was unique as he was not created by a human father and mother. He had a heavenly pre-existence before the world began. 

     For He is God, the Son, the creator of the universe. (John 1:1-3) "The Word (Jesus) became flesh and made his dwelling among us."(John 1:14) 

     

     It is called, "incarnation." God, the Son, or the Word, became flesh — took on a human body and nature, and was truly God and truly man. After the broken relationship with His created human beings in the Garden of Eden, God willingly sent his Son to bring restoration. 
     I am always overwhelmed with this awesome, true love story! Jesus, knowing he would eventually die on a cross for the sins of the world — yours and mine — came anyway.     
     

     What unconditional love, unending hope and eternal life for everyone who believes in Him. 

     

     This poem someone wisely wrote, is a message to you and me from Jesus:

If you look for me at Christmas, you won't need a special star  

I'm no longer just in Bethlehem, 

I'm right there where you are. 

You may not be aware of Me amid the celebrations 

You'll have to look beyond the stores and all the decorations. 

But, if you take a moment from your list of things to do, 

and listen to your heart, 

You'll find I'm waiting there for you. 

You're the one I want to be with, 

You're the reason that I came, 

And you'll find Me in the stillness as I'm whispering your name.  



Love, 

Jesus    

     

     To all my blog readers — a big thank you!  May this Christmas season be one of peace and a renewed sense of our Saviour's presence in your life.  Immanuel.
