If you have missed any of our 31 Days of Christmas, you can catch up! The first one is here, What’s My Line was second, #3 was The Promise, and #4 was our big hit, The Christmas that almost wasn’t. I hope you enjoy today’s short thought on C.S.L Lewis’ quote about The Son of God….Be blessed!
“And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:35.
Mary was to bring forth the Son of God! How this could happen she did not know, but she believed, she trusted and she became a vessel used for the glory of God!
Because of her faith and her obedience, we are able to be called sons of God today! We can be born into the Kingdom of God because of the baby born in a manger so long ago. That baby, who was God, manifest in the flesh, came and gave His very life that we might live forever and walk in victory here on this earth.
This should make us the happiest people on the planet! We have reason to have a smile on our face every day! What a hope! What a promise!
Sure there are trials, disappointments, heartaches and difficulties. As a Christian, we face all of these too. But we are not alone. We are equipped with power from “on high”. He gives us strength to cope, strength to stand and strength to go through any circumstance. He is our Peace Speaker!
Do you know Him? Are you a part of the family of God?
Does Christmas mean more to you than presents under a tree?
Thank Him today for coming in the flesh, so He would feel what we feel, and be tempted as we are tempted. He knows; you can trust Him!
Share what it means to you to be called a son (or daughter!) of God. In what way can we show our thankfulness to the Lord? What do you do at Christmas time to show your gratitude to Him?
Thank you so much! What a blessing to have you and your thoughts this evening. Jesus is truly the reason for the season! So happy to have you at Hope in the Healing! Looking forward to getting to know you better. Blessings!
Beautifully said!! I love it. A vessel of honor unto Him! I tried to comment on your blog again today with no luck!! I can never comment from my iphone and I do not know why!! I will try again later…but I loved it 🙂
The best way that we can show our gratitude to the Lord for what He has done for us is to love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. And truly be a vessel of honour unto Him by obeying His commandments and living in such a way that the world can see what Christ to us every day. It is pure joy to be one of His own with His Spirit residing in me!
<3 This post is beautiful! What a wonderful thing to remember. Christ, not commercialism, should really be the reason we're excited for Christmas! 🙂
Jesus taking on flesh to become one of us is still SO crazy that it’s hard to really grasp sometimes. Only a God of true love would do that! We are blessed.
Oh yes Heather!! He chose us!! Blessed, we are all blessed, all we have to do is say, “YES!” Thank you friend! ♥
To be His … Means He chose me. That’s huge to my heart.
Lovely post, Nanette. 🙂
