December 25
Merry Christmas!
We come to this day with the exultant sounds of the Hallelujah Chorus ringing in our ears. We hear in our inner man the sweet strains of JOY that will redound to the glory of God at Easter. We know the Baby born at Bethlehem came to die on the cross at Calvary and He arose.
We know that the celebration of His arrival and the joy of His
departure as He returned to the realm of glory were separated by a life
set apart, by a life that was unique among men, because it was lived for
all men.
What seemed to begin in a stable while his mother was complying with a Roman census requirement—“While they were there, the time came for her to be delivered and she brought forth her firstborn Son” Luke 2:6-7—was actually planned in the corridors of Heaven before time began (Revelation 13:8).
Because Jesus came in the fullness of time, we have the opportunity to receive the gift of salvation He came to bestow upon us. We may sing the redounding hallelujahs to His glory and we may anticipate the joy of His triumph over death!
Because of HIM, WE may triumph over sin and death!
Halleluiah! Joy!
