There’s a mysterious wonder that touches my soul in this season of gentle star light. My heart soars into the unfathomable mystery of the virgin birth and the inexplicable choice of the Sovereign God to make Himself nothing. The Star Namer became human to save a world writhing in the darkness of sin and bring us into His marvelous light. My stymied mind makes futile attempts to puzzle it out, but it’s absolutely mind boggling. God wove His own flesh and blood and bone together in Mary’s womb. The Eternal One was wholly dependent on the life that flowed through her vessels.

The incarnate infant Christ slept in a manger under the star of Bethlehem and under the watchful eye of His Father and multitudes of angels. What wonderous mysterious love is this?

May the wonder of Christmas capture your heart afresh.
