What a beautiful image of our God we receive today. The Almighty in a manger, the creator in baby form, the most powerful, looking weak. As we picture the baby, with a poor family, in a far away land, our minds are blown-away. Why? Because this is also who Jesus is.
Colossians 1:15-20
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”
As we remember who the baby is, we can’t but bow down in worship. We can’t but give him praise. His humility, his majesty, the beauty of his character are all reflected in this moment.
He did it, he became a human, he became a baby, he became a servant, he died on a cross, and he will come again for you and me. Therefore he deserves all of our gratitude, worship and praise.
He is worthy of everything!
Happy Christmas!
