One of the things I enjoy the most during the Christmas Season is the music!
Not so much the silly stuff, although that can be fun if I’m baking or doing things around the house. But, if I’m driving or just sitting quietly, there’s nothing like reflecting on the words to a song that draws me closer to a place of awe and worship for the One who came to give His life for me! This year, for some reason, the lyrics to the well known Christmas classic, “ Mary, did you know? “ have been swirling around in my mind ! When I hear those last few lines it’s almost too much to fathom!

“ Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy is Lord of all Creation?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your Baby Boy is Heaven’s perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding is the Great I Am? ”

Can you imagine holding your sleeping baby with the realization that He was our great Creator, our sin-bearing Savior, and will be our eternal Lord and King?

In the book of Revelation, 22:13, Jesus tells us, “ I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. “

I pray that , during these last few weeks of the Advent Season, we will remain focused , especially on our busiest days, on the truth of who Jesus is, why He came to earth, and the assurance of His great love for us, both now and forevermore! Amen!
