Merry Christmas

Christmas Thoughts

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation…all things were created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:15-16

While contemplating what to write about Christmas this year, my head could not hold a thought long enough to capture the words. The mind would go from blank to overload, and than tilt to empty again. So, I reviewed past written material to help me focus. Then smiled.

Below is a link to eighteen Christmas messages from prior years. They are as relevant today as when I wrote them. Collectively, they espouse the reason for the season.

Hopefully, one of them will spark your spirit this x-mas season.

Merry Christmas!

Incarnation Changed Everything

Dr. Mike 2023, Christmas , , ,

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.”    1 John 1:1-3

God becomes human. Spirit takes on skin. Joy meets suffering. Death is nulled. Life is reborn. Sin covered. Grace overflows. Humanity redeemed. Enemy defeated. Kingdom restored. Family grows. God wins again. This is the impact of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.

Through Jesus’ birth, humanity and divinity became one. Jesus being 100% man and 100% God is the first fruit of a new creation. The physical and spiritual becoming one. HE lived with human desires along with a divine presence. This while meeting the everyday challenges of life on earth.

HE introduced HIS Father God to the world. HE shared HIS message of HIS Kingdom. All while training select men and women for the mission of building HIS Church. HE lived a sacrificial and vicarious life. He never sinned. But lived a righteous life on behalf of you and me. HE lived life fulfilling all the requirements of Scripture. HE did so representing every human before HIS Father God.

His actions and accomplishments paid our debt to God. HE forgave us before we even asked HIM too. HE willingly exchanged HIS life for our sake. This was HIS mission from the very beginning. HE open the door for humanity to be birth into the family of God.

From birth to resurrection and from ascension to glory, HIS story is a reminder. Life has a greater purpose and meaning than one can even imagine. No wonder some people cannot accept it. It changes everything.   

Merry Christmas!
