THE POINT OF CHRISTMAS, GOD IS HUMBLE

“Before He came to the earth, Jesus was the Commander of the angel hosts. The brightest and most exalted of the sons of the morning heralded His glory at the creation. They veiled their faces before Him as He sat upon His throne. They cast their crowns at His feet, and sang His triumphs as they beheld His greatness. Yet this glorious Being loved the poor sinner, and took upon Him the form of a servant, that He might suffer and die for us. Jesus might have remained at the Father's side, wearing the kingly crown and the royal robe; but for our sake He chose to exchange the riches of Heaven for the poverty of earth.”"He who had once been waited on by angels, becomes the servant of servants, takes a towel, girds himself and washes his disciples’ feet! He who was once honored with the hallelujahs of ages, is now spit upon and despised! He who was loved by his Father, and had abundance of the wealth of affection, could say, “He that eats bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.”Oh for words to picture the humiliation of Christ! SONGS: KING OF KINGS, HILLSONG UNITED HOW LOW WAS OUR REDEEMER BROUGHT, SOVEREIGN GRACEHERE I AM TO WORSHIP, UPPER ROOMHALLELUJAH, WHAT A SAVIOR
