1 John 3:13 (KJV) Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

We shouldn’t be surprised. Jesus told us this would happen. When we live righteous, counter-cultural, Biblical lives, it will offend this dark world.

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

We had our Christmas dinner at church today and it

We had our Christmas dinner at church today and it was nice to have a full house again!

When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,

When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.

He left His throne in heaven, dwelling on earth with sinful man, in order to make it possible for us to dwell with Him for eternity. He desires to be close to us; He was motivated by His love for us. Today let’s be motivated by love for Him as we ponder all that it meant for Jesus to leave His throne—for us.

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...

Ephesians 1:5-6 (KJV) 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word That sho

Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word
That should set Thy people free;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.

This hymn was written by Emily Elliott as a mnemonic way to teach the Gospel to Sunday School children. It is not just a Christmas gun, because it tells the story of Christ—His coming, and WHY He came.

“The mighty One has chosen to dwell with us, to trade His rightful crown for one of ignoble scorn in order to revive our broken spirits and redeem our wayward hearts.” —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In

The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.

“[Jesus] came, lived in, and loved a world that wouldn’t accept Him. We place too high a value on ourselves if we require that we be treated with greater importance than He was accorded.” —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

How amazing too the thought—that the Son of God, walked on earth and was rejected repeatedly, but now we have the opportunity to open our hearts to Him and let Him come in! Have you made room for the Lord in your life today?

Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclai

Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.

Philippians 2:5-8 (KJV) 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

“Jesus came for more than the telling of a Christmas story. Jesus, the One of whom the angels sang, came to the world as a person of humble birth. Jesus, the One whose garments are forever inscribed with His proper title as ‘King of kings and Lord of lords’ came to be roughly treated, cruelly fitted with a crown of human hatred and derision. Such is the extent of His devotion [to us].” —Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth

Today let’s take a moment to thank the Lord for all He gave up in order to make our salvation possible! Yesterday in the sermon from Matthew 1 we learned that He came down to dwell with us in humanity, in order to open the door for us to dwell with Him in heaven forevermore!!!

Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,

Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for Thee.

Jesus left the glory of heaven to put on humanity and be born in this wretched, sinful world. And on the night He was born, He was turned away with the words, "No room."

“When deity put on humanity, Jesus understood He was simultaneously choosing humility. Whereas in heaven he was the undisputed center of all attention, on earth He was undeniably persona non grata. We must therefore ask ourselves: are we anywhere near as willing as He was to be overlooked and outcast? Do we demand our rights and place of prominence, what we feel we're entitled to, our personal preferences? —Nancy Demoss Wolgemuth

This is Pastor’s favorite Christmas hymn. It tells us the story of our Savior and all that He gave up in order to be born, and ultimately die, for your sins and mine. We will continue looking at it next week.
