For many centuries, the Israelites waited for the coming of the Messiah, a King, Savior and Deliverer. With the birth of Jesus, the wait finally came to an end.
This newborn was not only the Messiah, but God Himself!
This newborn was not only the Messiah, but God Himself! In the beginning was the Word, … and the Word was with God, The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
John 1:1 and 14a
The miracle of Jesus’ birth is that he was fully God and fully man. He came from the glory of his Father, but took on human form.
At Christmas we celebrate this miracle! Thanks be to God that he sent his Son to earth.
Jesus, God himself, has a birthday on Christmas. How do you celebrate Christmas?
