It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

Isaiah 64   It's all about Jesus!

If we are not careful we can lose the whole meaning of the birth of Christ.

Ask yourself, Are you looking to see that Christ is born in each person in the human race?

Or are you having negative thoughts like Joseph did, to put away his wife because what appeared to be occuring in the visual is that his wife was about to have a baby that he did not father. At first he was afraid to marry Mary because it appeared that what was happening was not of God. And the idea of marrying a woman that could give his name a bad rap might not be so good.

But by faith Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had told him, and by faith he did as Abraham did and did not stagger at the promise of God, but was strong in faith giving glory to God.

Even though he couldn't see the outcome, he embraced the future.

Thank you Jesus for being born to save us from all of the things that are not good for us, including ourselves at times.

Even now in this era, shepherds are watching their flock by night in the midnight hour, and the angels are still singing, Glory to God in the highest, Peace on earth and good will towards men.

And wise men still seek Him to honor Him through praise. Even if their agenda wasn't to worship Him in the first place, as they grew closer to salvation/the Holy Christ, through the tangibility of being near Christ and by the drawing of the Holy Spirit, their agenda was changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.

When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Give the gift of Christ in you. You are cheating the one that bought you, if you haven't given of yourself.
