The True Glory Of Christmas

That God stepped out of eternity into time is mind-boggling. 

That the undeserving shepherds first received the Announcement of the birth of the Christ-Child is more than my mind can grasp. 

But the Creator, with all His deity, humbling Himself to be laid in a manger is unthinkable. 

The precious baby Jesus sleeping quietly in a farm animal’s feeding trough—imagine that. 

We find the true glory of Christmas in the words of the angel who visited the shepherds on that Judean hillside. 

Luke 2:10-11 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.

No matter what we may make of it, Christmas will always be about the Baby born in Bethlehem—our Savior.
