The Power Behind Christmas

God showed great power in the Creation,  the miracles,  the cross,  the resurrection, and more.   As great as these are, I believe His greatest power was  when He added humanity to His deity and came to live and die among men.

Philippians 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

When you consider the Creator of the universe, His birth as a baby becomes more amazing because the Creator of creation humbled Himself and became a creature in creation.
That’s the power behind Christmas!

 That’s why this season is not about trees and tinsel,  packages and parties; bows and boxes, or meals and mistletoe.  This season is about Jesus, the Creator (John 1:1-5:14).
