December 8 (Revelation 1:8)
“I
am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is
to come, the Almighty.” (ESV)
We all tend to focus on Jesus as a baby at
Christmas, but go the other direction for a moment. Just try to grasp how big He is. You will not be successful, but try it
anyhow.
Jesus spoke reality into existence. His word brought about the Higgs boson,
quarks, and atoms. He spoke, and there
was gravity. The pull of the moon that
causes tides in our oceans, that was His creation. Distance so great it can only be measured in
light years is contained in His speech.
Unfathomable does not even come close to expressing the inadequacy of
our words to describe the Word of God, Who chose to become flesh.
You think Christmas is about your card and
gift list? Turn off the noise of your
life for a few minutes and stand next to the immensity of Jesus. Let your body, mind, and soul become lost in
Him. Now you are ready to worship the
babe in the manger.
