Merry Christmas! Thank you for joining with me in this advent. Today we celebrate the birth of our Savior, our Great One, Our Peace, and Our King.
I know my family will be reading from Luke chapter 2, and I would encourage you to do the same. But there are other good passages to read in the Bible that help us consider all of who Jesus is. Take some time to think over this description of our coming King:
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:11-16
A Prayer: Hallelujah! We can do nothing less in response than praise You, Jesus! Our King reigns! Our Savior has come! You, Jesus, are our peace! You are great and greatly to be praised!
