On Christmas Eve my family watched “The Nativity Story.” It reminded me of what this time of year is really about. It made me think of everything that Mary and Joseph had to endure to bring precious baby Jesus into the world. “He is for all man kind.”
Imagine if Mary had not been willing and obedient to carry out God’s will for her life?
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her. (Luke 1:30-38)
I hope that you all have an amazing Christmas and really remember what this season is all about. Happy Birthday Jesus!
