This is the wonder of Christmas: that God chose to send our deliverer to earth in the form of a baby. The offspring who would crush the serpent's head, so long ago promised to Eve, is promised again in Isaiah as He who would be the light of the world, but He is given to us as a child! Against all the forces of evil arrayed against Him the Christ arrives among us as a newborn baby, and yet He is a King. He would grow and live His life as we do, with the same cares and concerns but overcoming all trials and defeating all attempts by the prince of darkness to pervert Him, to become our perfect sacrifice and ultimately our King in glory, so that you and I, as we celebrate our own Christmas, may look forward to the promised inheritance that awaits us in glory...all because of the birth of a Child.
~The picture above is of my little Jackson! He was in awe of our Christmas tree :) He is 17 months old.
Love the picture. Little Man thinks it's him. :-) "It IS, Momma, it IS!"
ReplyDeleteI sent y'all a Christmas card with that picture on it! After looking at it again, I can see how your little man would think that. Their profile do look a little alike :)
