Christmas (2) God Has Come To Our Planet
Thursday December 26, 2013
Christmas -- it really happened! God has come to our planet. He has broken through into our dimension of existence. We may never comprehend how or even why, but the fact is Jesus came by way of a Bethlehem manger.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:3-5 NLT)
The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). (Isaiah 7:14 NLT)
I myself taught Israel how to walk, leading him along by the hand. But he doesn’t know or even care that it was I who took care of him. I led Israel along with my ropes of kindness and love. I lifted the yoke from his neck, and I myself stooped to feed him. (Hosea 11:3-4 NLT)
The coming of Jesus to our world and to us is a powerful witness to the truth that our ordinary and simple lives matter. We are assured of God's love for us and His acceptance of us. We are loved, not simply as one of the masses, but as individuals with unique personalities. It is this individual attention and affirmation by the God who created us and who chooses to come close to us that gives meaning and purpose to our lives. We are significant people because of our connection to God our creator through Jesus Christ.
