🌲 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23 🌲
The Seed of the Woman (a seemingly impossible thing), coming to crush the Serpent's head...
Without Christ coming in the flesh there would be no death on the cross and no resurrection -- no atonement for our sin and no hope for the great restoration of all things. Christ came in the flesh (mind-boggling), forever absolutely glorifying His tangible, physical creation. An angel coming to save us wouldn't have worked. He came in weakness, in flesh and blood, to save us, the fallen sons and daughters of Adam and Eve.
And -- looking forward to Easter -- what He came to do, He accomplished.
And He has promised to never leave or forsake us -- to dwell with us forever. He is our Great High Priest, in perfectly glorified flesh. Our Great King. And our Good, kind, loving Shepherd. 💓
All cause for the very greatest and highest joy indeed !♥️💚🤍
🎄 Merry Christmas!! 🎄

I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!
(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP. <3)
