HE'S HERE

Taken from the Jesus Story Book Bible by Sarah Lloyd-Jones

Everything was ready.  The moment God had been waiting for was here at last!  God was coming to help his people, just as he promised in the beginning.

But how would he come?  What would he be like?  What would he do?

Mountains would have bowed down.  Seas would have roared.  Trees would have clapped their hands.  But the earth held its breath.  As silent as snow falling, he came in.  And when no one was looking, in the darkness, he came...

The God who flung planets into space and kept them whirling around and around, the God who made the universe with just a word, the one who could do anything at all - was making himself small.  And coming down... as a baby...

And there in the stable amongst the chickens and the donkeys and the cows in the quiet of the night, God gave the world his wonderful gift.  The baby that would change the world was born.  His baby Son.

I pray that I wonder never lose the wonder of Christ coming to earth as a baby!
