A CHILD IS BORN…Here is it, the week of Christmas. The possibility of snow is a wonderful background thought and our hearts are getting ready to feel the love of family. God counted us valuable enough to send His own son to be our Savior. There is no greater proof in all of earth history that we are truly valuable then the coming of Christ! And what an affect that one child has had on our entire world.
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
~Isaiah 9:6-7
This is clearly my favorite Christmas verse and I am going to obsess on it all week long. The first thing I see in these words is the intriguing idea that when God needed to redeem a world that had lost it’s way…He relied on a child. He sent His son into a mothers womb, to be birthed and begin life as an infant. If I were sending a savior, I would think a show of strength would be in order. But God would not agree. He saw it as a time for the frailty of infancy. A time for the Christ-child to be dependent upon us. Think of that, God dependent on us! I can’t even put into words how that makes me feel. ~verlon
