WHEN THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, The LORD’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people – JOHN 2 : 11, LUKE 23 : 35 – 36, PSALM 92 : 1 – 5

“WHEN THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST JOINED THE RANKS of humanity, born into the humblest conditions, The LORD’S Glory was hidden from all but a few people. Occasionally, streaks of Glory shone out of JESUS CHRIST, especially when HE began to do miracles. Toward the end of HIS life, The LORD was taunted and tempted to display more of HIS awesome Power than HIS Father’s plan permitted. The LORD could have called down legions of angels to rescue HIM at any point. Imagine the self-control required of a martyr who could free Himself at will! All of this was necessary to provide the relationship with GOD that you now enjoy. Let your life become a praise song to The LORD by proclaiming GOD’S glorious Presence in the world.”

Scripture

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. JOHN 2 : 11

The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar. . . . LUKE 23 : 35 – 36

Prayer

It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of youI’m r hands. How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! PSALM 92 : 1 – 5

Prayer: Father, let my life be a praise song to you and your light shine brightly through me. Don’t let me miss Your sacrifice this Christmas season. Help me to simplify my activities and traditions so I can focus my celebration on Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
