One of my favorite passages of Scripture to read, especially during this time of year is Colossians 1:15-20, this beautiful poetic passage really describes in detail who Christ is and why He came.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross."
He is everything, in Him the invisible God was made visible. When we see Christ we see God. I just think that is amazing, the King of Kings, sends His son, the royalty of all royalty becoming nothing, in order that HE may be the one that reconciles all things to Himself and for His glory. SO during this season, the birth is awesome and all the traditions that go with the Christmas season are exciting, in the midst of all the hustle and busyness that comes with the season, take time to dwell here, that in the manger on that starry night, God became fleshed and dwelt among us the peasants. May that help us see the great Christmas carol, "JOY To the World," with more passion and zeal.
