"Heaven's Loss"

He gave up glory on His majestic throne to come to earth, fully man yet fully God.

He was acknowledged as the Christ while still in a virgin’s womb.

Born in a stable. Laid in a manger. Serenated by angels. Gifted by kings.

This wasn't the beginning. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1 KJV).

Earl and I have the print above, “Heaven’s Loss”, by Ron DiCianni. 

Focusing on the Christ Child lying in a manger, the archangel leans over Him as to have one last look.

His humanity was for our sake. “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10 KJV).

I am overwhelmed by Gods' goodness. Though I deserve nothing I have everything. In His mercy and grace and by His life, death, and resurrection I have eternal life without guilt or shame.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 KJV).

My prayer is that you too know Him and His love.

In Christ,

Berta
