With God all things are possible Posts: 3917	Christmas is the day that holds all time together. Romans 8:3 For what the law was powerless to do.....God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. Have you ever really pondered the meaning of Christmas? Was it just God's attempt to give us a good example to show us the way to live? Was it simply the birth of a great teacher? Did the innocent little bundle of flesh and blood in the feeding trough really hold the answer to us all? We can never fully understand the depths of all of God's mysteries, but we can understand a lot. He has revealed His purposes to us, so we know why Jesus was sent to this broken planet. As much as our proud society hates the idea of atoning sacrifice, Jesus was sent into this world to die. Like the cattle around Him, the baby of Bethlehem was born for slaughter. He bore the brunt of a fallen world so we could ascend high. He gave us a way out of the horrible implication of our rebellion. Long ago ,we were created in the image of God. We didn't know exactly what that meant; the image shattered and we weren't able to see clearly. But in Jesus, we now see the Spirit of God dwelling in the image of God, and we know. We were made for glory. The glory we see in Jesus is offered to us freely.....in Him. The earthen vessels that once walked with God in the Garden are now filled with the very God who made them. Christmas is our assurance; Jesus came in our likeness to die our death, and He came in God's likeness to live our live. In Him the image of God and the image of man meet. And now He lets them meet in us. FOR IT IS WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE HAVE A VERY BLESSED MONDAY I got a very special surprise for my 60th "29" Birthday. NEVER HAD A CLUE, but My awesome husband, ,my best friend told me we were going out to eat with my inlaws. ended up at a SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR ME! live band, food , friends and family.
