The Bible Recap Reading: 2 Corinthians 1-4 The Bible Recap Podcast: Day 338 God is Immeasurably Great and Unexpectedly Humble. Christmas is a time to marvel in awe and gratitude at the lengths God has gone to show us His love and to save us. The Creator came to His creation. The God of Heaven came to earth. The infinite God became an infant son. The Lord, whose royal robe filled the temple of heaven (Isaiah 6:1), became a baby who was wrapped in swaddling cloths (Luke 2:7). The God of the universe, who is present everywhere, did not have a room to be born in. The Son of God left His throne in heaven, surrounded by the unceasing praise of angels, to come to earth where He would ultimately receive a crown of thorns and hear crowds shouting, “Crucify him!” (Mark 15:13). At Christmas, we stand in awe at the majesty and humility of God. He came not in power to kings in a palace but in humility to ordinary shepherds in a small rural town of obscurity. The Lord comes to us not with angry fist, shouting from heaven, but with an open hand and helpless cry from a manger. “She gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn” (Luke 2:7 ESV). Prayer: Lord, you are infinite in power and yet you humbled yourself and became a man to seek and to save me. It will take all eternity to grasp your infinite love. What an amazing God you are! Thank you for your immeasurable, boundless love. In Jesus name, amen. Hope for the Heart Devotional Christmas Devotional – 10 Wonderful Truths of Christmas - Hope for the Heart Have a blessed day!
