Coffee With The Lord

Another pic to enrich your Christmas as a Christian… Don’t know about you, but my life as a follower of Jesus has been one incredible daily discovery after another unwrapping the wonder of His grace – “one grace after another” – “grace upon grace!” (John 1:16)

I know it’s my Christmas cover photo… but it’s been a great thought provoker for me this Christmas… Can you imagine either Joseph or Mary saying, “Isn’t OUR son beautiful?!” That would not have happened I believe – they knew better! There was a deep sense that the baby they held was not “THEIRS” – He was “GOD’S SON“! (Read Luke 1:26-35 and Matthew 1:18-25 if you doubt it!) He was not “THEIR son” – He was “GOD’S SON,” – “Jesus, for He will save his people from their sins!” I can only imagine the conversation Mary and Joseph had with the shepherds if their was any doubt about who the babe in the manger was…(read Luke 2:8-20)! He was not THEIR baby – He was GOD’S SON!!! And if you are Mary and Joseph that makes a difference in how you parent Him, don’t you think?

Another pic (and comment) to increase your appreciation of the REAL meaning of Christmas… ‘All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, ‘Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel’ (which means GOD WITH US)!” (Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:22-23)
