What do you think is God’s greatest display of power? Creation? Miracles? The Cross? The Resurrection?
I believe the greatest expression of God’s power was when He added humanity to His deity and came to live and die among men. Think about Who was born in that manger in Bethlehem.
John 1:1-3-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
When you consider that Jesus was the Creator of the universe, His birth as a baby becomes more amazing.
The Creator of creation humbled Himself and became a creature in creation. God became dependent upon a human mother.
Jesus stepped out of eternity, laid aside His glory and entered this world as a human baby. That is the power behind Christmas.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
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. He is the Maker of creation and the power that holds it all together,
