The Incarnation Should Be Our Inspiration

Christmastime is especially a spiritual season for us to find renewed inspiration in the marvelous mystery of the Incarnation. Yes, God not only came to us, but He became one of us, that He might come to us, even reign within us. Talk about mind-boggling mercy? The Creator became One with His Creation to bring us salvation from sin and to secure our reservation with Him for forever. It's called Love. Christmas Love.

Listen to these wonderful words written down in John 1:1-14 (GWT) --  In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was already with God in the beginning. ³ Everything came into existence through Him. Not one thing that exists was made without Him. ⁴ He was the source of Life, and that Life was the Light for humanity. ⁵ The Light shines in the dark, and the dark has never extinguished it. ⁶ God sent a man named John to be His messenger. ⁷ John came to declare the truth about the Light so that everyone would become believers through his message. ⁸ John was not the Light, but he came to declare the truth about the Light. ⁹ The real Light, which shines on everyone, was coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world came into existence through Him. Yet, the world didn’t recognize Him. ¹¹ He went to His own people, and His own people didn’t accept Him. ¹² However, He gave the right to become God’s children to everyone who believed in Him. ¹³ These people didn’t become God’s children in a physical way—from a human impulse or from a husband’s desire to have a child. They were born from God. ¹⁴ The Word became human and lived among us. We saw His glory. It was the glory that the Father shares with His only Son, a glory full of kindness and truth.

Speaking of "Love coming down?" It's Christmas Eve and a gentle snow is beginning to fall here in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Looks like a white Christmas is in the making. Marvelous. 

ALL JOY TO YOUR WORLD! ALL PEACE TO YOUR SOUL!
