(Mission Cast) The Incarnation: The Mighty Work Of God (Psalm 71:16 ; 1 Cor 1:23 24) (Justification)
Jeff and Mim discuss the “mighty deed” of the Lord, that he would become incarnate in the flesh, become one of us and dwell among us. He is the Word of God — Jesus Christ. Often times we associate Christmas Eve with nostalgia: Christmas Pageants, cute but fidgety children dressed as shepherds, wise men, angels and wise men to create a living nativity scene. We forget that this birth was the time of Imperial Rome forcing its vassal state citizens to register for conscription and taxation. Mary and Joseph had no choice but to make the 80-90 mile journey to Bethlehem. Were they anxious or fearful, frustrated or feeling helpless? Who knows. Yet God was quietly working a might deed so that the prophecies would be fulfilled and the Christ be born in Bethlehem. May we have confidence that God is still doing mighty deeds among us even in times of political upheaval and hardship. God is Immanuel. He is always with us. We pre-recorded this podcast because Jeff needs to fly to Oregon to see his father who had emergency surgery to clear an almost complete blockage in one of his arteries to his right leg. We were recording while he was having surgery, not knowing the outcome. We are glad to report that the operation was a success and that he is in recovery. We wish you all a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and New Year. Love to all who record and listen to the “Daily Texts” podcasts.
