What makes a man or woman burn for the Gospel? It is the restless knowledge that there is Someone greater, worth burning for. The martyr is martyred because he has caught a glimpse of the glory of God and could not remain silent!

Merry Messiahmas!

I doubt I will post again until after Jesus' birthday celebration. I wish all of you a very joyfilled Christmas. Remember to ponder the miracle of God becoming man. He left His throne, His majesty, His glory to take on human flesh and bone. He was God and man. He ate and drank. He slept and yawned. He had a mother and a father. He stubbed His toe and cut His finger. Divinity became humanity. The King of all became a servant to all. The Creator became creation. Baby. Helpless. God. Man. Jew. Life. Death. Messiah. Redeemer.

Remember the cross. There is no Easter without Christmas. And Christmas is meaningless without Easter. Thank You, Father, for your love, mercy and grace You gave us when you sent Jesus as a baby. My mind cannot truly comprehend the full reality of God becoming man. Thank you for the manger. Thank you for the cross.

Happy Birthday Jesus!
Jaclyn
