Most Joyful Day!

Have you ever considered how joyful and
miraculous the wonderful day we call Christmas really is? I want you to journey
with me back in time, to the beginning.
Scripture tells us that Jesus was crucified
before the world began, therefore, His birth was also planned before the world
began. Now we know that Jesus is God and He is eternal, which means He planned
His own birth. He knew the day and the hour in which He would enter into His
creation. Stop and think about that. God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit -
planned the creation of the earth and the rest of the universe, together with
everything in it as well as how He Himself would enter into it.
No one, no animal, insect, fish, etc., is
able to enter this world unless it is through some or other birthing process.
How miraculous is that. No human being - spirit, soul and body - can enter this
universe unless they come through the womb of a woman. In our modern world of
words - portals and wormholes - you could liken the womb to a portal that opens
and the process of being formed in the womb to the point of birth as a
wormhole. (The Bible uses the words gates, doors, pathways etc.)
When Mary conceived the Spirit of God,
Jesus Christ entered the doorway to the earth. In her womb, He underwent the
process of the formation of His body and soul which would enable Him to operate
as a man (human being) on the earth. When this process was complete, Mary gave
birth and Jesus the Messiah, God in the flesh, entered into the creation of
time, space and matter.
Imagine witnessing this event from heaven.
How did the angels and all the heavenly host feel when they saw Him in His
physical form? How did God feel? What was this like for Him to actually
experience what He had created? Heaven was ablaze with excitement and angels
appeared to shepherds telling them that the most joyous event the world had
even known had just taken place! It freaked the shepherds out completely!
But what is it that they were celebrating?
They were ecstatic because they knew He was the Saviour to the world and that
He would save the world through the forgiveness of sin. His life and coming
death would forever change eternity. This was a momentous day, not just on
earth, but in the heaven of heavens and eternity itself.
God saw us through the eyes of grace and He
came to set us free from the power of sin and death so that we could boldly
worship Him with holy lives and purity in His presence forever. His life on
earth was a mystery, a mystery that had been hidden for ages but was about to
bring together a new beginning, a new birth that would culminate through His
death and resurrection.
His birth into this was the door and the
earth the womb through which a new creation would be born. No one can enter
heaven unless it is through Jesus Christ, for He is now the door through which
we are birthed into our eternal dwelling place as the fully manifest sons and
daughters of God.
What a glory, what majesty, what a glorious
hope that we have to look forward to. Your life is not in vain. You were born
with a purpose which is the choice to accept Jesus as your Saviour and then to
live your life in honour to God and finally to enter into the wonder and the
majesty of all that God has in store for you throughout eternity.
As you celebrate this day, kindly take some
time and ask the Holy Spirit to share some of the majesty and mystery of this
glorious day with you. May the remembrance of this amazing event fill your
heart and soul with an abundance of peace and joyful emotion.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄

Through God Enchantment, I write about the places where faith meets wonder and Scripture becomes alive in the everyday.
Each reflection is an invitation to move beyond duty into delight, beyond religion into relationship, and to see the nearness of Christ in ordinary life.
With love and wonder,
Yvonne
