Joy to the World

DAY 3 OF 4

The Word Made Flesh

What do you imagine when you think back to the beginning? Oftentimes I disassociate myself with the vastness of God. I forget that where I’m standing today was once formless until God did one simple thing: He spoke. The power of the very Word of God brought about everything we can see, touch, and experience. The good news is, the power of the Word doesn't stop in the beginning.

Fast forward to Jesus' coming - the Word that created everything we see - a vast power that brought light and life to our world was now a baby lying in a manger.

So what does this mean for us? In the Christmas season, it’s easy to get caught up in the stress of gifts, hosting family and friends, putting up Christmas lights, and making sure that every little detail is perfect. I think, if I can just find time to throw up a nativity scene I won't forget what this season is all about. The reality is, that the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is a perfect recipe to lose sight of the wonder of that night. It wasn’t just a baby in that manger that grew up to do some great things, it was the Word of God made flesh to make his dwelling among us and ultimately to save us.

My challenge to you this year is to not lose sight of the power of the birth of Christ. How can that power transform this Holiday season from gifts and a Christmas tree into a life-changing walk with a savior?

May the power of the Word of God make a difference in your life this Christmas season!
