The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.  He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.  Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

John 1:9 – 13

The Eternal Mystery

The Creator himself became a creature in order to rescue us.  That was such an outstanding thing that we will never fully comprehend it, just believe it!

Only those who need Jesus desperately and reach for Him with all their hearts know who he is.  For others, his coming is little more than a tantalizing fable.

Those of us who have experienced this miracle of Jesus in our own lives are, to our delight, “children of God.”

All of us who believe never lose the sense of awe as we think of being born again as believers in Jesus Christ.  No amount of evidence will convince an unbeliever to believe. Belief is the result of desperation.  When all else fails, Jesus is there. All of us believers know that!

I am blessed as I embrace Jesus all over again at this Christmas season.
