THE Christmas Miracle

“When the people saw him do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, ‘Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!’” John 6:14

Jesus had just fed the crowd of 5,000 men plus women and children with five loaves of bread and two fish, and the crowd wondered if He was the Prophet Moses promised that God would send. (Deuteronomy 18:15)

A miracle of multiplication.

Today, we need a miracle of multiplication. Multiplication of healing, financial recovery, job restoration, kindness, peace.

We need a miracle of multiplication, but it only comes with the greatest miracle.

The Christmas Miracle.

God loved the world so much that He gave the greatest gift He could give to you and me … His Son, Jesus. Jesus emptied Himself of the glory that He shared with God in heaven to enter the world as a baby. He grew in wisdom and favor as His mother treasured all that she observed about this One who would become her Savior.

When He was 12-years-old, Jesus astounded the religious teachers as He listened and asked them questions. (Luke 2:46)

During His ministry on earth, He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, calmed the seas, raised the dead, and much more. Miracles.

Yet, the greatest miracle was His gift. He bought this gift with His life, death on the cross for you and me. He paid the price for our sins.

Emptied of glory. Became a Man. Blessed the Earth. Laid down His life. Rose from the dead.
Gives Eternal Life.

THE MIRACULOUS GIFT!

Each day in December, I’ll explore one thought about Jesus on Instagram and Facebook. Won’t you join me and add your thoughts? Let’s grow in our understanding of THE Christmas Miracle together.

Glorious Giver of Life, we bow in humble adoration as we ponder Your miraculous Gift. Holy are You, Lord. We praise Your name, for there is no other name under heaven given among humanity by which we can be saved. You emptied Yourself of all and gave all to us. “Thank You” seems trite in comparison. Yet, we do give thanks. We rejoice in You and Praise Your Name! Amen.

Father, You are love, and You have given us so many gifts, but the greatest of these is Your love. Your love is patient and kind. May we reflect Your patience and kindness. Your love isn't focused on Yourself but on others. May we abandon our self-centered focus and rejoice with Your truth. Jesus, You bore all things. You bore our sins on the cross so that we could live with You forever. Holy Spirit, empower us to bear all things, for we believe that You are transforming us. We hope in our God Almighty, and that enables us to endure all things. Your love never ends. Thank You, Father. Amen. Father, we rejoice in where You have placed us this day. Help us to see You in all that we do and in all that we encounter. We know that You have us in Your hand, and You are working Your perfect will in us. May we bless You and all those we see today. Thank You that Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. Forever. In Jesus' name, amen. Are you anxious? Troubled? Fearful? Want peace even in the midst of the storms in your life? Call out to God. He is near, and He loves you. “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.” (Matthew 6:28-29) Our spiritual worship starts with surrender to God. If God is for you, who can be against you? Who will charge you? Who condemns you? Who will separate you from Christ's love? God loved you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, into the world to pay the price for your sins, so that you could live forever basking in His love. “O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; May you bask in God's blessings and rest in His peace.
