Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Until He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees,
Hear the Angels's voices!
Oh night divine,
Oh night when Christ was born.
The Word became flesh by way of a birth which was both completely supernatural and at the same time so natural. That God would choose to take on human flesh and live amongst us is astounding. The all powerful, all knowing Creator God stepping to down to take on the form of His creation; Choosing the fleshly restrictions of the human form simply because He loves us, to show us that He created us so that we might live life to the full in these bodies that He knitted together even before our own existence - He made us lovingly, beautifully, wonderfully.
That He would arrive without pomp and ceremony in the dirt, a gift to the people who could never have even begun to comprehend what this encounter with something so small and lowly would signify for the entire human race and for the rest of time.
The King of Kings humbling Himself to become a helpless babe - a new life that would bring fullness of life to all those who believed in Him, forever and ever.
That His Kingdom come today on earth as it is in Heaven. That His will would be done in my life and yours.
He is Awesome, Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counsellor, Lover, Creator, Redeemer, Forgiver and Friend.
He is the Bridge between Heaven and Earth, between the Light and the Darkness, between Death and Life and He has made a way for us to go cross and take others with us.
Glory be to Him whose name is above all names :) :)
