Once upon a dark day there was a light from heaven. Yes, there was a holy child born of a Virgin
Mother. He came as a poor child of this
world but He was the heavenly King.
There was no King like this King for He was the Master and Ruler of
kings and lords. He came through humble
means that hid His glory in human flesh.
He was not like ordinary people but He was God. He had a Mother who raised Him with
Joseph. Mary kept things in her heart
about the wonderful ways of her Son who was really the Father’s only Son
forever. Joseph cared for Jesus and
taught Him to be a carpenter of wood.
Jesus was able to handle wood like He handles people. He shapes them by His Friend the Spirit of
God into His friends by the Father’s plan.
Imagine the star over the place where the Holy Child was! Imagine this little baby as the ultimate
Creator of the all things. God the Son
became man and was born of the Virgin Mary.
The wise men came to worship Him because of past prophecy about this
little baby Jesus. The baby Jesus never
did anything wrong but He loved all good things. He grew up concerned about the plan of His
Heavenly Father because His mission was to save all little children. This little baby grew up to give His life by
His own power to save little children who have done wrong and to show He laid
down His life He rose again. Imagine a
beautiful garden of flowers dies but when little children think of Jesus we may
remember that He lives like a rebirth of a garden of wonderful roses that teach
us about His saving power for everyone who places their trust in Him. He does not ask you to add to Him but He
asks you to simply trust this little baby who was God and man that always did
whatsoever is right. Imagine if this
little baby was in your heart. Imagine
if you did everything like this little baby.
There was once Shepherd who held in His care a baby sheep and a baby
lion. There was no place for the baby
lamb and the baby lion. There parents
searched and searched and found no place to rest. But the baby lamb and baby lion were born in
a rough place to live, but the baby lamb would come to the little children and
He would give Himself for them as the offering of peace to the greatest
Shepherd of all, His Father. And the
little lion wore a majesty of purple as a great King where He is friends with
the baby lamb who wears a majesty of red as a great Redeemer. And a long time ago all the animals came
together in the friends of Noah’s Ark but later on all the animals came
together again of the little children’s Savior Jesus Christ because the animals
gather around Jesus who really is this little lamb and lion in One. The animals worship Jesus because all things
were made by Him. Maybe you have seen a
little lamb and lion, but Jesus is the picture of these friends in His creation
of all things. The little lamb says to
His children “My little child, you must love the Lamb of God who is Jesus,
because He came to save little children.”
The little lion says also, “I was a little lion just like you and I am
the King of all things so now come blessed of heaven by speaking to God about
all things.” Remember you always have a
friend in the little Lamb and Lion who is Jesus Christ. He says “Come to me” but he also says “I can
bear all things and I love you. Do not
go away, my little lambs and lions, but remember, I am always here as the holy
child who came to give life forever just for you, but remember my dear little
ones, I am unseen but always present; I am unthought of but always thinking of
you; I am unfelt but always feeling; I am caring when no one cares.” The Father of the little Lamb and Lion says
“My dear one, there is peace through My Son.”
And the Spirit comes with the gift of the Lamb and Lion “Here is my gift
to you, my dear child—yes, it is the baby Jesus.”
To preach, defend and teach the whole counsel of God according to God's written Word alone. John Calvin use to preach everyday despite health problems. It is an old reformation tradition. I hope to preach the divine Scriptures everyday for edification in a "humble" attempt to imitate Calvin's ambition through Luther's disputations by preaching because I am seeking a "great reformational awakening" of the sons and daughters of Adam in a ungodly time to the apostolic gospel.
