Jesus is coming to town. I know that He has already come. I understand that He is coming again to the earth, to make it the most wonderful creation that He planned. But He is coming in a few days as we enter into the celebration of His life.
We can join God in His “outside of time” side as we live in time with a sense of His story (History). We get to have a fresh revelation in our hearts as we celebrate Jesus coming to earth to light this place up. I want this year for me to be a new beginning. I want to start this year with Jesus as the one I must care for as He is the most valuable treasure the earth has known, yet packaged as a helpless child. What a revelation of humility is that!
God came to get me is the reason for this season. Not just the random personal identity of Jesus. I mean not just the notion of another holiday, birthday or event. I am longing to learn and learn again the wonder of life it's self. I am seeking to know what it means to have a world filled with light. Darkness (both the inside kinds and the outside kind) are fleeing as the one who is the light of the world came, comes and is coming again.
Do the nations of the world even know that life on earth is about everyone finding completeness in life as we live in harmony with the ruler of the world earth? Do I know that? Come Lord Jesus and teach me to live!
Do you feel the excitement of a new year? Not a new year on the calendar but a new year of life in Christ Jesus? We get to experience again all that His heart desires for us. The one who came to set me free is coming again today, right now to help me climb out of this pit I made. Even now I can see those baby hands reaching to me. They look weak, but are deceptively powerful as they hold all things together.
I think this year, instead of celebrating Christmas, I will celebrate Jesus.(presence included)
