Christmas

Today is Christmas. It's one of the rare times that the day falls on Sunday. It's an opportunity to celebrate in a big way because, even as we remember our Savior's birth, we remember His resurrection on the first day of the week.

"Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift" (2 Cor.9.15).

Yes, we are most blessed to have One born as a human baby, who "continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him" (Luke 2.40). One who is God incarnate, "Emmanuel," God with us. One who "gave His life as a ransom for many " (Mark 10.45).

We know the story. We can see in our mind's eye the babe in the manger. We can smell the hay and the animals. We can see the visitors and experience the awe that they must have felt. Yet, even in the knowing,

we are at a loss to really understand the magnificence of God's grace. For, "God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom.5.8). But as important as that is, Jesus Christ lived for us.

The baby Jesus lived as a child, then as an adolescent, and finally as a man for 30 years before He began preaching and teaching the kingdom gospel. Jesus lived for us. who "although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men" (Phil.2.6,7).

Yes, today we celebrate the birth of our Savior; we celebrate His life, and we celebrate His glorious resurrection.

It's "the Lord's Day" all the way around.
