Brought to you by....

A glorious entrance! Hardly the way one might describe the birth of the King in Luke ch2. Jesus is born unto us in an animal trough. There is no earthly fanfare, attending nurses or warm soft blankies. But God's ways are not our ways. There is fanfare, from the heavenly realm. There are gifts and people, shepherds, do come to behold. Imagine Joseph and Mary, what must they have been thinking. Joseph was truly righteous, taking pregnant Mary to be his wife. Follow a decree for the census. He is obedient, and perhaps that is why we can read about him today. God humbled himself to be one of us. Let that sink in. The potter became the clay. No other idol or god-like diety in our lives can boast that. Think your tv knows how you feel? Just turn it off and look at it. Kinda empty. Don't let the Christmas story in Luke be something to think about only in December. Rejoice each day that He has come to us!
