What a God!

Yesterday Adam, my grandson that I am homeschooling, had to quote this passage of scripture for his Bible class.

 

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in  Christ Jesus.  

Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal. 

But made Himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant, 

and was made in the likeness of men; 

And being   fashioned as a men,  He humble himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him,and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven,and things in the earth,and things under the earth;

That every tongue should confess  That Jesus Christ is Lord,

To the glory of God the Father."

Philippians 2: 5-11

We sat and talked about how that God, Majestic and Eternal ~ was willing to become man just for our sake.  

What  a God!

His humility and willingness to come and suffer that we as unworthy sinners would not have to go to hell.

What a God!

He left heaven and all it's glory and riches and came to earth as a poor carpenter's son.

What a God!

He served mankind, yet was rejected and hated.

We thought how that in our wildest imagination we can never know what He went through just for us.

What a God!

Yet, we so often are puffed up with pride and think we know best about the problems that come our way. 

Stinking pride is one thing the Savior hates.

As we pondered, we were made to realize what a Great God we serve.  We need to fall down before Him,  Worship  and adore Him. 

 O come let us adore Him,

O come let us adore Him,

O come let us adore Him,

Christ, the Lord.

Not today or just through this Christmas season, but every day, all through the day ~ sing His praises.  He is worthy!

 

Always, Aliene
