What Happened on the First Christmas?

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Think with me about some of the many amazing things that happened on that very first Christmas:

• The God who opens the womb, giving the gift of children, became a child growing in the womb of a woman.
• The One we depend on for everything became dependent on human parents.
• The One who holds the universe in His hands was held in the arms of Mary.
• The One who created the first woman was born of a woman.
• The Ancient of Days became a newborn.
• The Helper became a helpless baby.
• The Creator became a creature.

Psalm 29 tells us God’s voice is powerful and majestic. That powerful, majestic voice was reduced to a baby’s cry.

When you think about it, Christmas really is astonishing. This God, this Savior, deserves our thanks and our worship.
