Christmas uplifting? The message of Christmas is that God intrudes upon the weak and the vulnerable, and this is precisely the message that we so often miss. God does not come to that part of us that swaggers through life, confident in our self sufficiency.
Think about it. God leaves his treasure in the broken fragmented places of our life.
God’s Word tells us: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1: 14-18).
By His almighty power, our violent and unclean birth is removed forever and replaced with the pure and holy birth of Jesus Christ. Born again in Him, we become Him and nestle in the bosom of His mother, under the tender and watchful eyes of our doting God and have been returned to His loving embrace. What a blessed Christmas gift that is. There’s a story that’s uplifting. Merry Christmas!.
. “I pray today in Jesus name that this Christmas each of us refocus on the blessings of God’s mercy on us through Christ. We are weak, yet God has chosen the weak to be His messengers. Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
