THE FIRST NOEL
LUKE 1: 46 - 55
(PAGE 1496 COME ALIVE BIBLE)
JESUS CHRIST was the highest form of God and the ultimate form
of man. In Him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily,
yet He took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in our
likeness.
He who spoke the universe into existence humbled Himself and
became obedient -- even unto death for us.
He was the Light of the World yet He hung in darkness.
He was the Fountain of Life, yet upon the Cross He cried, "I
thirst."
He was the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, yet He was led as a lamb
to the slaughter.
He was the Ancient of Days, yet one day He became the babe of
Bethlehem's manger.
He did all of this that you might have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and
much more.
In the person of Jesus Christ, God left a footprint in the sand
of the Judean desert. He stained the grey stones of Calvary
with His blood as a demonstration of His love for you.
Little wonder that the adoring apostle Paul bowed his head and
wrote of Him: "Our great God an Savior -- Jesus Christ."
Consider the miracle of His emergence on planet Earth.
A teenage girl was on her regular routine trip to the well to
get water for her family when startled by a rare encounter. Her
name was Mary. She was a simple, unsophisticated, unassumingpure
young girl Her humble home was in a little-known village called
Nazareth. At that point at the well, let's pick up the story
and note:
I.THE RESPONSIBLE PRONOUNCEMENT
Just as her startled eyes see the angel sent to greet her, he
speaks, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you.
