Christmas
is a celebration steeped
in paradox. We celebrate
a Sovereign who chooses
to be a subject, a Prince
who dons the trappings of
a peasant, a spotless
Lamb who possesses the
lineage of a Lion, a
birth that will
extinguish death and
ultimately a death that
will offer everlasting
life. It is a spectacular
story, it is an
irrefutable reality. It
is a love story beyond
imagination. The great
mystery of the
incarnation is the fact
that Jesus chose to come.
It was the initiative of
love conceived in the
heart of the Father, born
in the person of the
Christ Child and revealed
to us through His Spirit.
Although the coming of
the Messiah went
unnoticed by the world He
came to save, it was
heralded by heaven's
angels. On the evening of
the incarnation, the
lowly Judean hillside
radiated with the glow of
Shekinah glory. It was a
night of miraculous
transformation. A host of
angels became a choir, a
band of lowly shepherds
were presented to
Royalty, a trio of kings
became seekers of truth,
a star became a beacon, a
stable became a shrine, a
manger became a throne, a
virgin became a mother
and God became a child.
Gloria in Excelsis
Deo!
Jesus The Messiah
