It was clearly a perplexing seme. Who could understand it? There by an infant on a bed of straw, His newborn cries drowned by the mooing of cows and the bleating of sheep. There were the honorable Wise Men from the East, dressed in rich fabrics, carrying jewels, the finest of their gifts of fragrance mingied with the animals'scent . In contrast, the weatherworn shepherds trembled in awe at the scene before tbem..still stunned from their encounter with angels. Mary and Joseph could not take their eyes from the true mirade God had entrtbted to their care., a babe destined for perfcdioa-.born into a scene of confusion and imperfection-yet, bathed m glory.

Though we can newer be perfect like Jesus, our Heavenly father seeks that each of as be destined for glory to live forever with Hhn.

We are taaght in God’s Holy Word. ‘Therefore, since we are justified by Cnlth, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ Through Hhn, we have obtafaed access to this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in ov hope of sharing the glory of God.” [Romans S:l-2]

In this holy season, share m the glory of God like the Wise Mei did by worshiping Hhn this week. In thfc way we can al remember that God wants to share His glory with us. May we all bathe in the glory of God’s Son this Christmas and e^joy Ht> blessing.
