Tonight during our Christmas singing and prayer time at church, our friend Donny reminded us that there is no fourth member of the trinity during Christmastime! Baby Jesus is THE Jesus ... one and the same!
And this morning during church, Stephen reminded us of the same thing ... Baby Jesus is the same Son spoken of in the following verses:
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. (Hebrews 1:1-4 ESV)
As He lay in that manger, He was still the Heir of All Things, and was still upholding the universe by the word of His power.
Rejoice this Christmas season that this, this is Christ the King.
:)
i love jesus and the good news ... that through his death and resurrection he offers us reconcilation with the loving, sovereign, and holy god of the universe. yay!
