Born Holy but Lowly

      We get excited about Christmas when December rolls around.  There is all kinds of glitter,  lights, and merriment.  However, there would be no Christmas without Jesus. Everyone expected a King, and He is One, but He was born lowly.  Not as expected.

Born Holy but Lowly

Glory, glory, glory!

The scriptures tell the story.

A child is born,

Only to be scorned.

A Savior has come,

But cursed by some.

The Angels sing,

“Behold, the King!”

Born lowly

But holy.

Holy, holy, holy!

Born is Christ,

Come to be a sacrifice.

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.”  Luke 2:11 NIV 

 

The Angel to Mary

      The Christmas Season is in full bloom. Our Church service started today with a Christmas Carol.  The preacher followed with scripture beginning in the first chapter of Luke when the Angel appeared to Mary.   As I studied the reading further, I put into verse the following: 

The Angel to Mary  

“You have found favor

And will bear a Savior. 

The child will be the Son of God.“ 

Mary was troubled but awed.

The Angel said,

“Word will spread,

But there is no need to fear

The Lord will be near.

He will be with you,

And carry you through.

Your baby will be the Christ child,

Remaining undefiled.

Name Him Jesus!

He will become great, a royal king;

At birth, the angels will sing.

He will be holy,

Though born lowly.

Shepherds will draw nigh

To see this Son of the Most High.

As God’s own,

He will receive a throne,

Reign forever and evermore

After unrighteous sins He has bore.”

“And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus.  He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.  And the Lord God will give to Him a throne…and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end… Therefore the child to be born will be called holy-the Son of God.”  Luke 1:31-33,35b
