The Night Christ Was Born

The night Christ was born, humanity met divinity. The soul felt its worth, the thrill of hope, a weary soul world rejoiced. You could hear the Angels voices it was a divine holy night when Christ was born. As I recall the stories of Jesus birth, I find that the humble are those of faith.

-Mary humbly by faith received the promise of bearing the responsibility to rear God’s son

-Joseph humbly by faith agreed as well and chose to take the hard road of social ridicule and continue to love Mary and lead the family

-The Shepherds humble in nature were the first to hear the news. They were one of the lowest of all working classes and yet God choose to them as the first recipient of his message!

Why all this? I believe because the humble are willing and wanting. They are open and available for help. The humble are aware of their need and desperation's for something beyond themselves, being fully aware of their inconsistencies and inabilities. These humble people in the times of Christ’s arrival were long awaiting the prophetic promises of Old Micah 5:2. They were waiting for this gift. The greatest gift humanity would ever receive, Salvation, God in human flesh.

Prayer
Lord, I pray that we would sense the joy of our salvation and be in worship this season. May we be humble people who receive you with open arms, thank you Father for your Son Jesus Christ, His life, death and resurrection.
