Why is Christmas such a magical time of year? Maybe it's because our minds associate Christmas with miracles such as the Virgin Birth of Jesus and the birth of John the Baptist. Maybe it's because so many of the Christmas movies have miracles as the plot so we are tuned into expecting miracles at Christmas. I don't know but Christmas is a magical time of the year.
In that, if 2019 hasn't been kind to you and has left you wondering if it will take a miracle to fix things for you then consider the miracle of births in scripture. The Bible is full of stories of people who were told they were going to have a child but didn't believe it was possible. Mary wondered how she would give birth as a virgin. Zechariah and Elizabeth questioned how they could have a child at their age. So, if you've been wondering if God is big enough to solve your problem or if He can do a miracle for you - remember, God's answer has always been "Yes, I can".
The biggest miracle has already given in Jesus Christ from God's perspective so everything else is small in comparison to Jesus' birth. The divine birth was announced
to shepherds, the angels sang. The Lord
Jesus was born. He didn’t come as King,
He came to save. His birth wasn’t announced to kings but to
ordinary people like us because the reason He came was for us – what a strange way to save the world. Expect your miracle, have faith God is still in the miracle business and have yourself a Merry Christmas!
