The miracle of Jesus' birth

Less and less do we hear of Jesus' birth at the Christmas season and more and more about Santa Claus and the economy as presents are purchased and decorated. But the percentage of believers among unbelievers is actually growing. It is not uncommon to meet fellow Christians in unexpected places. But the miracle of Jesus's birth is so far out of natural thinking that it is easy to just think of it as an isolated miracle and forget it.

This miracle goes back before creation. In God's wisdom and knowledge, Jesus was the lamb slain from the creation of the world. Revelation 13:8(NLT) And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made—the Book that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered.

Our creation was planned to allow God to come to this world in the likeness of His creation. Our realm is a water realm but God's realm is spirit. Within the invisible shield around our earth is the air we breath that is part water. We need water more than food. Our bodies are part water and we are shaped in a bag of water. That bag of water comes from the sperm as does our blood. The life of the flesh is in the blood. Jesus came into this realm in water not of this realm and with blood not of Adam. But he came born of Mary and probably looked just like her. This miracle of birth is to be respected and rejoiced. Without this miracle, the miracle of our salvation could not exist. It is how God's Life became our life and believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead brings the miracle of our being born into the Family of God. By the ministry of God's Spirit within us, we come to look just like our Father.

Have a blessed Christmas!
