Warriors Arise: December 3, 2021
Matthew 1:23 (AMPC) Behold, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel—which, when translated, means, God with us.
God is with us. Such a mind-blowing concept. God, sent His Son to be with us. Jesus hung up His deity to become human, 100% human. I am not sure I can even comprehend what Jesus did. I don't know anyone who would want to become a baby, to begin life again. God did not send His Son as the Commander of the Lord's army as in Joshua 5. He did not send Him as one appearing like the Son of God walking in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego. God sent His Son as a baby. Being sent as the Commander of the Lord's army and walking in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego were probably pretty cool assignments. However, those were but a moment of time. God was sending Jesus for a significant period of time, 33 years Jesus would be away from the place that was home to Him. He would not be in His Father's presence nor adorned with the worship of the angels day and night. I wonder if Jesus felt awkward by the silence when He was used to the angels shouting back and forth praises to God, the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit?
Jesus left all of that to be with us, to be God with us, to be Emmanuel.
Father, that is enough to cause me to worship You today! I celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I look forward to celebrating the birthday of Jesus Christ, Emmanuel. Jesus, You are royalty. You are God and You chose to come to earth as a baby to identify with me, my struggles, battles and demonstrate how to have a relationship with God to face adversity and overcome the enemy. I celebrate You today and my anticipation builds to celebrate Your birthday! I celebrate You coming to earth and being God with us, Emmanuel. I will worship You and all You put on hold to be with me, in Jesus' name amen.
