The star, the shepherds, the earthly daddy Joseph, the virgin mother, the Magi, the evil king Herod. All parts of the wonderful thing we call the Christmas story. Today we celebrate the birth of Jesus, The King of Kings, and as John 1 says, the Word became flesh. God put on skin, laid in an animal trough, felt cold, hunger and pain, all out of love.
God so desired to take care of our sin problem, that he moved. He moved into a different home for 33 years.
John 1:14
14The Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighborhood.
We saw the glory with our own eyes,
the one-of-a-kind glory,
like Father, like Son,
Generous inside and out,
true from start to finish.
and moved into the neighborhood.
We saw the glory with our own eyes,
the one-of-a-kind glory,
like Father, like Son,
Generous inside and out,
true from start to finish.
(The Message)
Jesus moved into our neighborhood.
What a reason to celebrate! A new neighbor!
He wants not only to live in our world, our city and our neighborhood this Christmas, but He wants to move into our lives.
Into our hearts.
Into our souls.
That's why He came. Meet your neighbor today. He's generous from the inside out and true from start to finish.
Merry Christmas!
Chasing After Hearts,
Glenda Johnson
