A-Poem-a-Day Until Christmas...
MULTITUDES OF
MIRACLES
It
was miracle enough
that
glorious day Jesus, the Son of God
was
born to save this world from sin
That
alone is deserving of
Glorias!
and Hallelujahs!
from
every person who is grateful
for
the miracle’s immeasurable worth
but
there were more, so many more—
like
the string of prophecies
recorded
in the Old Testament
and
fulfilled in the New
about
Bethlehem, a virgin and a Branch
from
the line of David, and
For unto us a Child
is born
Unto us a Son is
given…
and
there were angelic appearances
and
announcements
to
Zacharias and Mary and Joseph
even
to shepherds reclining in a field
Angels
even told
Mary
and Joseph to name
the
newborn Jesus/Yeshua
which
means, “The Lord Saves”
There
was the revelation
by
the Spirit to grey-haired Elizabeth
pregnant
with John the Baptizer
(another
marvelous miracle!)
that
filled the old woman with astonishment—
A very special baby was
nestled
in Virgin Mary’s womb!
Then
of course there was
the
timing of the calling for a census
that
brought Mary and Joseph
to
Bethlehem, at exactly the right time
and
to exactly the place
where
the prophet, Micah, foretold
the
wondrous birth would occur
and
being this was a baby boy
to
open the womb
Jesus
was immediately declared—
“Holy
to the Lord”
Oh!
Let us not forget
the
amazing star of wonder
that
beckoned magi from far off
and
led those gift bearers
to
the very doorstep
of
the Son of God
or
that when Mary and Joseph
presented
Baby Jesus in the Temple
it
was while old Simeon
held
Him tenderly in his arms
that
the Lord revealed
he
was actually cradling
the
promised Messiah—
A light of revelation
to the Gentiles
and the glory of the
people of Israel
Miracles,
miracles, multitudes of miracles!
Wonder
upon wonder to believe
and
celebrate with joy at Christmastime
and
always
Glory! to God in the Highest!
Jesus, Our Blessed
Savior is born!
