Perhaps no other story in the Bible speaks with such clarity about the power, the majesty, the glory, and the purpose of God.
The Lord stepped out of eternity into time and was born of a virgin. That’s almost mind-boggling.
The shepherds---lowly and undeserving---were first called to worship the Christ-child.
The angels were amazed that the Creator was born in the image of the creature He created.
The wise men following the star makes me rejoice. These pagans traveled far and came to know the Lord Jesus Christ.
The manger is a reminder that Jesus laid aside certain Heavenly attributes that He might become a man and die for sinners.
We find the true glory of Christmas in the words of the angel who visited the shepherds.
Luke 2:10-12 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
As Savior, He is worthy of our worship. As Christ, He is worthy of our dependence. As Lord, He is worthy of our obedience. As Jesus, He is worthy of all we can give Him.
