Christ was born in the first century, yet he belongs to all centuries. He was born a Jew, yet He belongs to all races. He was born in Bethlehem, yet He belongs to all countries.   

~ George W. Truett

Something of eternal significance transpired there.  Not only was the calendar of the world changed, but heaven itself and eternity were affected.

If we could condense all the truths of Christmas into only three words, these would be the words: ‘God with us.’  We tend to focus our attention at Christmas on the infancy of Christ.  The greater truth of the holiday is His deity. More astonishing than a baby in the manger is the truth that this promised baby is the omnipotent Creator of the heavens and the earth!
~ John MacArthur

Rejoice, that the immortal God is born, so that mortal man may live in eternity.
~ John Huss


My heart is overwhelmed when I think of my Savior, King incarnate.  My Father, Creator in flesh.  I cannot imagine how Mary’s heart was able to hold all of things she witnessed.  Things no other human eyes were able to behold.  The glory of heaven wrapped in a helpless babe.  

So today I am trying to wrap my heart around the mercy and compassion poured out for me.  For us.  In the flesh of an infant child, held in his mother’s arms.

I am leaving you today with one of my favorite Christmas songs… “You’re Here” by Francesca Battistelli.

Blessings sweet friends!
