The Wonder of Christmas

It is Christmas time again!  What a joy it is to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.   Although the world has lost the wonder of Christmas, believers must never get over the wonder of that first Christmas night so long ago.

John tells the world that, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14).  What a wondrous thought!  The Word (i.e., Jesus, God) was made flesh.  That means that the God, who created all that is, became like mortal man.  For thirty-three-and-a-half years, God Almighty clothed Himself in a robe of human flesh.  He endured the sufferings, trials and temptations of a mortal man, yet He sinned not (Hebrew 4:15b).  This means that Christmas offers hope for mankind.  God was not “made flesh,” but He “dwelt among us.”  This is another astounding thought!  Why would the God, whose habitation is the boundless eternity, be willing to confine Himself to the spatial limitations of time?  Yet, that is what He did. . .He “dwelt among us.”  The sinless Lamb of God chose to live among sinful men.  He did this so that you and I could know the forgiveness of Christmas.   John concludes the verse with “and we beheld his glory. . .”  Yes, those who saw Him during His public ministry saw One like they had never seen before.  They saw Him heal the blind, raise the dead, cause the dumb to speak and the deaf to hear.  Yes, they beheld His glory.  However, we too can still behold His glory.  Every time we witness the work of salvation in a believing heart, we witness the greatest of all His glorious works.  What a joy it is to know that Christmas brings the miracle of salvation.

As we celebrate the wonder of Christmas together, it is my prayer and hope that you and your family have a wonderful and joyous Christmas celebration.  I pray that you will have the opportunity to introduce your unsaved family and friends to the Wonder of Christmas through salvation this year.  In the words of the old carol. . .”Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him!”
