Christmas...God taking on flesh, becoming a man...the incarnation.... So many are writing, expressing and celebrating this season in their unique ways. Those of us in the Kingdom are hoping to see Christmas with "new eyes"... fresh insights and angles for ourselves and to portray what we learn of this most significant event to others.
I'm just an average person and don't think that I have anything significant to add to the many voices out there that are heralding the glorious news of Jesus. I must say though, that for me, I'm continuing to discover that the incarnation [God taking on flesh in the person of Jesus] was just the begining. Since then, God our Father has intended for His person, His life, to be born, incarnated, in us. It starts when we first choose to become a follower of Jesus. Every day after that, as we walk with Him, His virtues, person and personality increasingly are seen in us. His Life in us, just as it was in Jesus, clearly showing the world we live in, what God is like, how He loves and cares.
Christmas strongly reminds me that what He did through His Son, Jesus...He wants to do through me. Jesus said: "The things that I do, you can do because...." The book of Acts [commonly known as The Acts of the Apostles] is inaccurately titled according to some bible teachers. They state it should be , The Acts of Jesus as continued by the Apostles. I like that! It puts the credit and glory where it ought to be and reminds me that the Jesus birthed in me can do his work if I'll let Him...and God can be incarnated again and again and again.
Nothing profound really that I've typed here...nothing new...but certainly something that I need to remember all year and not just Christmas.
Just thought you'd want to know...
Blessings,
Mitch
