When Heaven Kissed Earth (part 1)

The Experience
From the pen and heart of Samuel Burch
Luk​e​ 2:11  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. (ESV)

Over 2000 years ago the Divine due date of LIFE in the womb of a very blessed young woman arrived…and she delivered a Son. Formal birth announcements were not available in the stable that day. There existed no television, computers, cell phones or tablets, yet the greatest announcement from the beginning of time penetrated the night sky in nearby hills as heaven kissed earth in the presence of simple, but available common laborers.
 
The message and messengers that night resounded in the “heavenlies” with a force that shook the earth in dimensions reverberating still this day in unfathomable ways. Fears were diminished and hope flowed in the announcement of “good news” of “great joy”  that night...but there was more, much more. You see, the child delivered in the stable that night was born to me, for you, and unto “all” people.  You see, this was not just Mary’s child, he was ours; yours and mine, for the “announcer” on that special night did not proclaim simply that a son was born, but that a Savior, (Deliverer), had come. The crib in the stable was holding The Christ…The Savior!!
 
The common folk, (who were really uncommon in God’s eyes), “got it!”… And they left all that night to come face to face with their future. That night they knelt because there was One who was willing to lower Himself, so that we could be forever lifted…and this my friend is Christmas…only please remember that leaving some things behind and kneeling will always precede being lifted.
 
Prayer: Jesus, deliver me from self and sin, and deliver me to the safety, security, and splendor of life that can only come when the desperate meet a Deliverer…because Heaven kissed earth on a night long ago.
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS
