At Christmas time, we're always thinking from our perspective, or perhaps Mary or Joseph since we're most like them when truly, the biggest change happening that glorious day was probably sorrowful/bittersweet for all of Heaven. They were saying goodbye for a short time to their King. The right hand of God leaving his throne to be put in sensitive flesh and tossed on a pile of itchy hay in a manger. Bebo Norman articulates it best:
Or do you think all of Heaven was "in on it"- knowing that this small going away party would benefit the rest of History. Makes you wonder...
Either way, thank you, Jesus for being willing to step from your throne into the humblest of "welcome parties" all so you can welcome us into Heaven one day.
