Hey Friends,
Happy Jesus’ Birthday! I know the debate about when the exact date really was, and I don’t want to engage in it. It is like celebrating a birthday or anniversary, just not on the exact date. It is still just as good. So, we celebrate the Advent. I, for one, am very grateful for the occasion. Are you?
On this day when Mary was struggling with labor pains and a hard journey, there was no room for them. I think it is a fitting phrase for our culture today – NO ROOM FOR CHRIST! No room in the inn. That was a long time ago, but what about today and your heart? Jesus has plenty of room in heaven on the throne, but what about in your heart? Does He have plenty of room there? Is He comfortable? “Your will be done in my heart as it is in heaven.”
This Christmas season let’s make plenty of room and let’s make it like heaven. Heaven is filled with worship. In heaven, Jesus is obeyed immediately and passionately. In heaven, He is FIRST without an equal or battle. Yep, this Christmas let’s prepare our hearts as Mary prepared the stable and the feed trough for His comfort.
Christmas – shouldn’t it be His day? Today, with all you are, celebrate HIM and HIS coming. It opened the doorway of deliverance, the roadway to righteousness, the highway of holiness, and the street of salvation. PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!
Happy Jesus’ Incarnation Day!
