The Christmas Story is layered with miracles. Prophets of old spoke with clarity and detail about the coming Messiah. (Isaiah 9:6, Micah 5:2). However, the miracle we often overlook is the unyielding love of our Savior.

A love that led Jesus to trade in streets of gold for a stable.

A love that compelled Jesus to give up his majestic throne for a mere manger.

A love that led Jesus to give up the presence of complete holiness for a place full of sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

A love that compelled Jesus to trade in the continuous worship of angels, for a lowly position of servitude. (Matthew 20:28)

A love that led Jesus to give up a crown for a cross.

A love that compelled Jesus to give up exaltation for humiliation! The humiliation of death upon a cross (Philippians 2:8).

What a miraculous love. This type of love should lead us to worship at His feet and pick up our cross to follow Him!
