Advent Thoughts





Jesus had to become an earthly child.....so we could become a heavenly child

Jesus lived in a womb of darkness...so we could see the light

Jesus entered the earth through the humble and tramatic event of birth....so that we could easily and graciously recieve new life

Jesus could not speak or take care of himself as an infant.....so that we could have complete freedom in Him

Jesus cried to his mother in his need....so we could cry "Abba, Father" in our need

Jesus entered in a filthy, crowded, noisy, uncaring city....so we might live in a clean brilliant place called Zion

Jesus entered the limits of time.......so that we might taste eternity

Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes.....so that we could wear robes of righteousness

Jesus cared more for us than the glory of heaven......so that we could care for others more than ourselves
