His arrival had been anticipated since Genesis 3. The Old Testament prophets foretold His birth in accurate detail. The self-existent, second person of the Godhead “became flesh and dwelt among us.”[1] …The long-awaited Christ was born!
“Peace on earth and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled.”[2]
I hope that you join me in proclaiming, “Glory to the newborn King!”
…
May the peace of Christ be with you this Christmas season and always.
[1] John 1:14; See Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, and Micah 5:2 for examples in the Old Testament of Jesus’ anticipated birth prophesied.
