A babe sent with the spirit of God to be our Savior and King

The past several months have been one of tribulation and blessing. The greatest that I have yet to experienced. Such has given to intraspection and seeking the Lord's will. This has become greater as the Thanksgiving and Christmas season has approached and arrived. I have been blessed by Calvary BC greatly through this season.

Today, I came to a personal revelation new to me and feel I must share. It isn't new in itself, but maybe can be expressed in a new way that will touch your heart, as it has mine.

The Savior and King of Kings came as a babe. The One at the creation of the universe, the birds and beast, and man came as an infant. God placed His warrior spirit in a babe along with His compassionate spirit. In order to save your soul and mine, God manifested himself in the form of a helpless baby.

The King was entrusted to two young individuals with no riches and had a manger for a bed among the beasts which He created. The Savior's arrival was trumpetted by angels and celebrated only by shepherds and kings from afar.

All of that to say, the greatest miracle to ever bless mankind came in the most insignificant way. The Creator of all manifested Himself in the same way He manifested each of us. Our Messiah lived through the same trials and tribulations as we do. A helpless babe was born to demonstrate the power and magesty and love and mercy of God that is within us all.

The same spirit in Jesus is in those who believe in Him. With the Holy Spirit, we each can live through the ups and downs of life just as Jesus did. We only need to believe in Jesus, listen to the Holy Spirit, and trust in God.

This babe came to walk in our shoes in order to save us from our sins and reunite us with our Father.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Merry Christmas! Happy Birthday, Jesus!
