There are many beautiful Scriptures in regards to the birth of Jesus. We know the world was a busy place at the time of the birth of Jesus and that few people took notice at that time----of one of the greatest moments in the history of all creation.
Jesus was, is, and always will be the King of kings and the Lord of lords---He is God the Son and all things that have been created—He created. Yet with all His incredible royalty, when He chose to come to this earth as our Savior---we know how humbly He entered, how graciously He lived, and how lovingly He gave His life to redeem us.
Wise men came and worshiped Him and gave Him valuable gifts at His birth. Many years later as He entered Jerusalem large crowds warmly greeted Him and shouted: “Hosanna in the highest!” Then a few days later they were shouting: “Crucify Him!”
When Jesus was dying on the cross and people were mocking Him He said: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” I—Lk 23:34a We may feel angry at those mockers until we remember---and realize the words Jesus spoke are for us too.
The real Christmas is and always will be---the greatest love story ever told. It is a story about a Father who loved a fallen human race so much---He paid the highest price ever paid for our redemption. He gave His only begotten Son’s life---as our Christmas present.
“For the wages of sin is death--- but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” --Romans 6:23 { He is risen and coming back soon.}
(Christmas is a time to be thankful.)
