On that first Christmas morning God brought his long awaited Son into the world with great joy and glorious ceremony, with a cavalcade of angels singing their hearts out praising God. No other baby born has ever been given that honour. This was the Son of God who had arrived!

It’s a remarkable account and we’re all so familiar with the story, but what is even more amazing is that now God waits to bring us, His many adopted sons and daughters into His heavenly kingdom, right into His presence, because of Jesus and all He has done for us.
Jesus had to come first or we couldn’t belong to God. He had been prophesied for generations but not many people were expecting or looking for Him. His coming had slipped into the recesses of their minds because it was taking so long, till suddenly He arrived!
As we think about the joy of the Christmas season, let’s encourage one another, Jesus didn’t just come as a baby, He is coming again. Don’t let it slip to the back of our minds but let’s have a great expectancy of His coming again but this time to lift us up and take us right into the presence of His Father.
Just take a minute to read our verses again, and as they sink in, let’s be so thankful He’s able to keep us from falling away so it happens the way He has planned. What a truly joyful day that will be! Thank You Lord.😊
