A
mighty king, Jesus,
was
born on Christmas;
Christ
entering the world
the
long-awaited Messiah
Emmanuel,
God with us.
A
mighty king, Jesus,
came
down from heaven;
He
was righteous, from David’s line;
a
life eternal He gave us
fulfilling
the promises of God.

11/27/18 my
response
“That
lack of vision may be part of why the Jewish leaders could
not see Christ as the real Messiah prophesied in
scripture.
They were looking for a lower-case messiah like Saul or
David,
an earthly king to overthrow Rome, not the Lamb to take
away
their condemnation under Law.”

“Far
too many of us lower our view of scripture in order to match
our experience and expectations. Instead we should be
raising our
expectations to match the witness of scripture.”

While the
great ones of the Earth build themselves
‘thrones’ for
their own power, God chooses
an
uncomfortable throne, the cross,
from which to
