O Come, Let Us Adore Him

If you ever watched the 1980's television show "The A-Team", then you're familiar with that phrase I love it when a plan comes together. 

And that's what we're celebrating in this season! A plan that came together. God's plan for the salvation of mankind. As we celebrate Christmas, we celebrate the fulfillment of that plan. A plan prophesied hundreds of years before coming to fruition with the birth of a tiny baby one night in Bethlehem.

We celebrate that birth in December. Did it actually happen in December? Probably not. But I don't think that matters. What matters is that Jesus was born. That He lived a sinless life, that He died to pay the penalty for your sins and mine, and that He was resurrected on the third day. That He ascended back to the Father where He now waits, seated at the right hand of the throne of God, until that time when He returns to earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."  (Isaiah 9:6 KJV)

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God....made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men."  (Philippians 2:5,7 KJV)

"But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."  (Galatians 4:4-5 KJV)

"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger."  (Luke 2:7 KJV)

"And the angel said unto [the shepherds], Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2:10-11 KJV)

And that's why we are celebrating. That's what Christmas is all about. 

As you are enjoying family and cookies and eggnog and gifts, don't lose sight of that.
Never forget what Christmas is really all about!

O Come, us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
