Joy to the world. It's amazing to think about the notion that the story of mankind, culminates with a birth in what I suppose would be equivalent to a barn. This birth and the subsequent 33-year life forever changes and ultimately defines our relationship to God.
And I do imagine it to be a quiet night. Imagine if you were there. A baby is born...later that night shepherds arrive to see the baby announced by angels. I wonder what Joseph and Mary thought when those guys walked in?
I was overcome with joy when we sang this in church this morning. Imagine, a baby is born and forever there can be joy in the world. For we now have the opportunity to have freedom from the law that we could not live up to. A mediator to bridge any one of us from what would be our rightful place eternally in hell to eternity with the God, our Father in heaven.
I praise and am ever thankful to God for this opportunity and my redemption.
