For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9, 6

22nd December Christ is incomparable This happened about 2000 years ago. A child is born by a supernatural way. He is conceived by the Holy Spirit and he is born by a virgin. He was announced by all the prophets of the Old Testament. However, his people did not prepare anything to welcome him. He is a descendant of king David, however, he is born in poverty, in a family without a fortune. As a small child he frightens king Herod; when he is twelve years old he surprises the most scholarly theologians with his intelligence; as an adult he shows that he governs nature by walking on the furious sea and imposing it's calmness. He does not have money nor corn fields, nor a fishing boat but he feeds 5000 men with five breads and two fishes; twelve baskets are filled with the rests! By associating his power and his love he heals the ill by a word. He did not have anything in the world; he slept in somebody else's manger, he used somebody else's small boat, he entered Jerusalem on somebody else's donkey, he was buried in somebody else's tomb, however he was rich and he has enrichened millions of people with peace, joy, courage and hope. Men got rid of him by crucifying him but on the third day God resurrects him and places him on the top of heavenly glory. |
