THE STORY OF JESUS: Matthew 1:18-25
“Mary was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 1:18)
The big miracle here is NOT that Mary became pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of God created all things out of nothing, this is no big deal for God.
The real big deal is WHO that child was.
“They will call him ‘Immanuel’ (which means “God with us”).” (Matthew 1:23)
Or as Paul puts it, “God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him.” (Colossians 1:19)
That baby represents the fullness of God in human form… God became human!
God comes to us to save us, and to be with us, as He intended from the beginning.
Imagine what your life could be like if you experienced unbroken fellowship with God?
God wants me to enjoy life in this world with Him.
Through Jesus He has removed every barrier that separates us from Him.
Through Jesus He has reached into our depths to meet us where we are.
Through Jesus He has lifted us out of our misery to be where He is!
Jesus still wants to come into our life, and be God with us.
“We will come to them and make our home with them.” (John 14:23)
This too is a big deal, an amazing opportunity, a huge gift.
Are you living in fellowship with God and Jesus, through the Spirit?
Then you are experiencing the real Christmas miracle!
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, I was made by You and for You. I can only find fulfillment in and with You. Thank You for giving Your life to me; help me to give Your life to others!
