Christmas From Cover to Cover: 25-Day Advent DevotionalSample

“Jesus was made lower than the angels.” Reflect on that statement for a moment. The God who created the angels subjected himself to less honor than his own creation. Imagine a potter being seen as inferior to the vase he makes. Envision a painting receiving more merit than the painter himself. How outrageous! Yet, this is the context of Christmas. Jesus Christ subjected himself lower than his own creation to be born in human flesh. This he did so that his very own creatures would find their way back to their Creator. Christmas is the passionate pursuit of God after His people.

Reflection Question:  How does the humility of Jesus empower you towards humility this Christmas season?
