Who is He? (Christmas post #1)

Yesterday in church as we were remembering with thankfulness Jesus’s birth, death and resurrection, someone prayed, “We look forward to an eternity of pondering the question, ‘Who is He?’”

Wait. 

Isn’t it weird for someone who goes to church to ask that question about Jesus?

Who is HE?

Shouldn’t they know?

Ah.  That’s the beauty. 

As Christians, we both know….and don’t know...because He’s too amazing for us to fully comprehend.

We can spend our lives learning more about Him! 

And during this Christmas, I hope to learn a little more about Him. 

See, I had this bright idea as I was driving home to PA from NC.  It was the culmination of the past few days’ thoughts… 

•  I had heard a song by Darius Rucker a few days ago:  What God Wants for Christmas – and the words “What do you give someone Who gave His only Son?” stuck out to me.  What can I give God this Christmas?   
•  We sang the words to this song yesterday in church:  

“Our song, then, forever shall be
Of the Shepherd who gave Himself thus
No subject’s so glorious as He
No theme so affecting to us!” 

• Dr. David Jeremiah reminded me yesterday (as we conversed through the radio :)) that teaching is using known things to explain unknown things.  Jesus often used the “known” to talk about the “unknown” (or hard to understand) in his parables. 

The combination of all those things made me want to do a couple of blog posts this week, reminding myself (and anyone else who wants to read :)) just who Jesus is.

You see, there is no subject so glorious as He.

And He himself said that He was like many things to help us understand more about Him. 

So, using God’s word and the knowledge of the world around us…I hope to offer Him this gift this Christmas:

I want to display just how WONDERFUL Jesus Christ is.

He’s not the subject of many songs and countless decorations this Christmas without reason.

Who is He?
