A Humble Beginning

Good morning Brothers, Happy Thursday! God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to thank God for his grace and guidance throughout this year. 6 more days till Christmas! Let’s sing, My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ the solid rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand. Today’s verse is from Luke 1:35. The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even during His ministry, people loved to view Jesus as a conqueror—a man of power that was going to topple the Roman government and establish Himself as their king. They wanted Jesus to show His power in a way that gave them power, too. Do you think anyone imagined, that He would begin His life on earth as a baby? Jesus went from being one with the Father in Heaven, powerful and supreme, to willingly taking on a human beginning, being born as an infant inherently dependent on others. Humility. It marked Him from the beginning. He did not come to topple governments, but to topple sin! And yet Jesus was humble to His core. God's perfect plan made manifest at last. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
