O Come, Let Us Adore Him

Jesus left the comfort of equality with God to gestate for nine months and become God in human form (Matthew 1:23; John 1:29; Hebrews 2:17). Jesus, the second member of the godhead, was born by natural means by way of a miraculous conception. That holy one of God nursed on the breast of a woman, and ate food that we may turn our nose up at, wore sandals and no doubt had dirty feet. He enjoyed no “creature comforts” that we so often take for granted (Matthew 8:20). We often enjoy the safety of a place to go and get away. Jesus was hunted from the time His birth was announced (Matthew 2:13). Surely, we can adore Him for coming into this world!

Think Beyond the Holidays

So much time and energy are put into our holidays. It is often within the confines of a packed schedule of travel and family reunion around the holidays that God gets a passing glimpse from those who normally do not have any time for Him in their life.
