What did the angels say when you stripped away Your glory? Did they turn away in shame? Did they recognize You? Did some stare in horror as God became like me? It was not enough though, was it, for you to become like me. You who lived before eternity and walked the heavens and held the constellations in Your hand were reduced to a clump of cells tucked into the womb of a child. For me. And that, dearest Lord, I do not understand. Marvelous are Thy works. The baby...
The Innkeeper’s Wife “No, there’s no room for the likes of you, and yes, I can see your wife. Now get from the door, let the others by, don’t trouble me with your life. Besides the fact, have you no sense to bring her so close to time? Why in God’s name would you have a child, there’s quite enough of your kind! If you must there’s a cave, a place for sheep, outback on the hillside near. Go out there, don’t bother to pay, just don’t let my husband hear.” And so it was ...
Wee little Mary who all thought good Believed the angel’s word, But what thought those who with her stood When of her blessed womb they heard? There was much joy in the camp along the road to Bethlehem that night. Mary’s mother never left her side. Her father, Heli, continually doted over their care, setting the example for the rest of the family. The family, he said, had suffered enough shame, and now it was to be over. Mary’s strength improved throughout the day. Her mother’s home cooking ce...
Would you be at peace if an otherworldly being suddenly stood before you? That's exactly what happened when an angel would appear to people. They suddenly stood before Mary. They appeared before the shepherds. Each time the angel would greet them with the word "peace." It is that same greeting that these "ministering spirits" extend to you and me: "Peace on Earth and goodwill to mankind." There is peace between God and man because Jesus came to pay the price for our sins. Do you need peace k...
Have you ever thought how strange of Him to introduce His Son through the appearance of sin? Mary could not take much more. Joseph feared for her. Over the days, her voice was tinged more and more with pain. He feared for the baby. Would Mary have the strength left when the child chose to be born? He was too young, too inexperienced, for this. After all, a Jewish man was not supposed to know about babies being born. In the village, the midwife was present along with the mother, grandmother an...
Mary’s Lullaby Hidden in my womb so deep Safe beneath my heart, Be still, Little One, for very soon Your life from me will part. Who will you be O Son of mine Is it true what the angels say? I care not, as long as soon In my arms, You safely lay. The valley of the Jordan River borders the land of Samaria to the west and the Decapolis to the east. Running fifty or so miles due south to the Dead Sea, it was the most common travel route to Jerusalem and beyond for the Jew...
Little Donkey Clip Clop, Clip Clop is all my donkey speaks, his little feet so close to mine my pace he humbly keeps. Clip Clop, Clip Clop Do you know the one you keep? It is the Creator of all the world His Majesty so meek. Mary was exhausted. Her first night’s stay in the countryside had been too painful to sleep. Joseph had stopped repeatedly the day before, her legs and back continued to spasm and cramp throughout the night. Mary tried to hide her pain...
Mary, Sweet Mary Mary, sweet Mary, how fearful it must be To leave the home of your dear birth in the hills of Galilee. Did sweet tears fall from your eyes, did your breaking heart turn cold? Or did you ponder the angel’s voice and the mystery he told? Mary, sweet Mary, now travel the lonely road. Bless you, child, for in your womb the Lord of Grace you hold. “Sweet Mary...” Joseph’s voice was the only comfort in the black night of early morning. She had been lying on the little pallet ...
It was to the lowliest members of society that the Angels announced their good news of great joy that the Messiah, the one who would save the world, was born. After the shepherds visited the baby Jesus, they left praising God, full of joy. Yet Christmas isn't always as joyful as we expect it to be. Whether it's experiencing a loss or a setback or painful memories or being away from loved ones, the holidays can be one of the saddest times of the year. Jesus wants to bring you joy overflowing,...
There seems to be some differing opinions on what the second Advent candle represents. Today, we are going to share from the perspective of peace. There's no doubt that Christmas is one of the busiest, craziest times of the year. It can also stir up anxieties and stresses that aren't present other times of the year. It's no surprise that peace often eludes us this time of year. Yet that was exactly why Jesus came. He is our Prince of Peace. Do you need peace this Christmas season? Look no fu...
In this episode, we are looking at the first of the Advent candles, the Prophecy Candle, which represents hope. Jesus fulfilled a large number of Old Testament prophecies and brought hope to the nation of Israel and to the whole world. Do you need hope for this Christmas season? Look no further than Jesus.
