ENRICHMENTS FROM THE WORD
"The only begotten Son, who is in
the bosom of the Father,
He has declared Him.
GREETINGS AND MUCH LOVE TO YOU!
It all happened in a moment...that was like none other. For through that segment of time a spectacular thing occured. God became a man. While creatures of earth walked unaware. Divinity arived. Heaven opened herself and placed her most precious one in a human womb...
God as a fetus. Holiness sleeping in a womb. The creator of life being created.
God was given eyebrows, elbows, two kidneys, and a spleen. He stretched against the walls and floated in the aminotic fluids of his mother.
God had come near....
The hands that first held him were unmanicured, calloused and dirty. No silk, no ivory, no hype, no party, no hoopla. Were it not for the shepards, there would have been no reception. And were it not for a group of star gazers there would have been no gifts.
For 33 years...
He would feel everything you and I have ever felt, He felt weak, He grew weary, He was afraid to failure. He was susceptible to wooing women. He got colds, burped, and had body order. His feelings got hurt, His feet got tired.. And his heart ached.
To think of Jesus in such a light is well. It seems almost irreverent doesn't it? It's not something we like to do, it's uncomfortable. It is much easier to keep the humanity out of the incarmation. He's easier to stomach that way.
But don't do it for heaven's sake, don't. Let him be as human as he intended to be. Let him into the mire and mulch of our world. For only if we let him in can he pull us out.
{From God Came Near: by Max Lucado}
"Much we have because he came. Much more we gain because He returns. For in the flesh he has given us grace, And in the Spirit he has given us The Enrichments from the WORD."--MIISRAEL
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 1: 14
Read, study, hear and obey the WORD.
BE ENRICHED.
GOD CAME AND GOD RETURNS!
THANK YOU JESUS!
