With the lighting of another candle the brightness
increases as we approach the birth of the Savior If
we are not careful we may be inclined to think the

It is so important to look at a bigger picture of what
is truly happening We are celebrating the arrival of
God to planet Earth taking on human flesh God has
come to bring redemption healing and restoration
The baby born in Bethlehem some 2000 years
ago lived here in a physical body That body was
crucified dead buried in the earth resurrected to life

With the lighting of another candle the brightness
increases as we approach the birth of the Savior If
we are not careful we may be inclined to think the
arrival of baby Jesus is the culmination of the season
It is so important to look at a bigger picture of what
is truly happening We are celebrating the arrival of
God to planet Earth taking on human flesh God has
come to bring redemption healing and restoration
The baby born in Bethlehem some 2000 years
ago lived here in a physical body That body was
crucified dead buried in the earth resurrected to life
in overcoming death and ascended to heaven Jesusrsquo
physical glorified body the one born in Bethlehem
is in heaven as you are reading this He has given
the Holy Spirit to indwell us in his physical absence
Jesus is our sole worship leader at the Fatherrsquos right
hand at this moment He is our High Priest interceding
on our behalf before the Father To look at Christmas
as simply ldquoJesusrsquo Birthdayrdquo misses the significance of
what is truly happening Because of the nativity and all
that followed this morning is filled with living worship
All glory to God Father Son and Holy Spirit world
without end Amenrdquo - D983154 D983137983150 S983144983137983154983152
