C. S. Lewis called it the Grand Miracle, that miracle that stands out as being above and beyond all other miracles. Is it the deliverance from Egypt? Creation itself? The Resurrection? No, it's the Incarnation.
Some may want to argue, but I think he's right. The idea of the infinite God, creator of the universe, taking on the finite flesh of His creation is the most mind boggling miracle of all. Or course, we know the purpose of that miracle was to provide the miracle of salvation through the death of Christ and His miracle resurrection. But it begins with this amazing miracle we celebrate each and every year at this time.
Here is yesterday's message as we continue to look at Paul's brief comments in Galatians 4:4-5. Last time I focused on the "fullness of time." This time, it's that miracle of God sending His son, born of woman, born under the law.
Praying you have ears to hear, and eyes to see the grandeur of this miracle and the salvation it leads to.
