What a beautiful reminder David Jeremiah brings to
our attention here in the reading today from Daily in His Presence. Try to imagine
Mary giving birth without any medical attention to attend to her should she be
in need. They are in a stable, a most humble beginning for the King of Kings,
the Lord of Lords to be born. The very word of God became flesh on that silent
night in Bethlehem. The stars shone bright over the place where He lay and the
Wise Men came to greet Him. A truly humble beginning for such a child as this,
who would forever change the world.
I wonder if when Mary looked into this precious face
she had any idea what His life would bring. A young mother who would one day
have to watch Him die. A young mother who would see Him through to the age of
33, marveling at His mighty works here on earth and realizing — He was sent— to
be our Saviour.
As David Jeremiah said in the last paragraph,
Jesus came into the world “in the likeness of men”,
(Philippians 2:7)
May we live our lives according to His teaching that
we may strive to leave this world in the likeness of Christ.
Have a very Blessed Merry Christmas. Please join us
on Thursday evening for our Christmas Eve service at 6 PM. Bill will have it on
the website for you to tune in and share that very special time with us. This
is our way of being safe and being connected at the same time as we share the
Christmas message and a few of our favourite Christmas Carols. We hope they are
yours as well.
God bless each and everyone.
I will return in the New Year as Wednesday December
30 I will take a break. Happy New Year to everyone. May our Lord give you many
rich blessings. I am sending much love to everyone in the name of Jesus.
