AUGUSTINE’S CHRISTMAS – Part 2

Continued from yesterday

Isa.9:6 – For unto us a Child is born,

Unto us a Son is given;

And the government will be upon His shoulder.

And His name will be called

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

“He’s the Revealer of His Father, and at the same time He’s the Creator of His mother.

He’s the Son of God born of the Father without a mother; and He’s the son of man born of a mother without a father. He’s the Day as the Angels count time; He’s the Clock as human beings tick off the day. He’s the Word of God before there were timepieces; He’s the Word made flesh who stopped the clock when He was made flesh.

He made the sun with His own hands, and yet He Himself was made under the light and heat of the sun. He regulates human history from the bosom of His Father; and yet He consecrates this one particular day from the womb of His mother.

He remains with His Father, and yet He goes forth from His mother.

He’s the Creator of the heavens and the earth; and yet He takes His own rise under the heavens, that’s to say from the earth….He sets the stars in motion, and yet he sucks His mother’s breasts…. He didn’t abandon His divine agenda when He picked up His carpenter’s tools. He didn’t stop holding His universe together with His mighty arms while He was trying to catch flies with His baby fingers.”

6. He regulates human history from the bosom of His Father; and yet He consecrates this one particular day from the womb of His mother.

He rules the course of history –

He made the day of His birth holy –

7. He remains with His Father, and yet He goes forth from His mother.

Impossible to separate the deity – Jesus is, always was, and always will be God –

Yet He was born of a woman –

8. He’s the Creator of the heavens and the earth; and yet He takes His own rise under the heavens, that’s to say from the earth….

He created the heavens and the earth –

He became a son of the earth –

9. He sets the stars in motion, and yet he sucks His mother’s breasts….

He orchestrates the universe –

He became totally dependent on His mom as she was dependent on Him –

10. He didn’t abandon His divine agenda when He picked up His carpenter’s tools.

He always has a master plan as God –

He became a carpenter –

11. He didn’t stop holding His universe together with His mighty arms while He was trying to catch flies with His baby fingers.”

He holds the universe together –

He played children’s games as a child –

This is a brief description of the mystery of the deity and humanity of Christ. I pray the blessing of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us will settle in on you this year.
