It’s the days of hope and wishing. Children are all excited about what might be beneath the trees on Christmas morning. Will dreams come true? Husbands do last minute shopping in hopes of finding something they their wives will like. Wives are home wrapping, baking and preparing for dinner and gift exchanges—wishing perhaps she remembered to buy this or that instead of something she’s already purchased.
Christmas.
And God is watching with Jesus sitting next to Him. “They do scurry about, don’t they Father?”
“Yes, they do.”
“But there are some who take the time from their busyiness to gather together and celebrate my birthday. See those getting ready for church?”
“Yes, I do.”
“So long ago, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’”
“Yes you were and are, my Son.”
And the Father and Son contemplate the the promises made and kept for mankind. Jesus sees the journey He made through the desert inside His mother’s womb on to Bethlehem to fulfill a promise from God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He can see the shepherds as they watched their flocks that night and were visited by the angels announcing His birth. And He remembers the wishes of the Father, the promises fulfilled.
“Every promise of Scripture is a writing of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: “Do as Thou has said.” The Creator will not cheat His creature who depends upon His truth; and far more, the heavenly Father will not break His words to His own child.” C.H.Spurgeon
And now They are waiting to see the many who will come to the Heavenly feast in eternity. “Being absolutely certain that whatever promise he is bound by, he is able also to make good.” Romans 4:21 selahV
