God came down! He put on skin and walked among men!
We beheld His glory - we saw how good He was - He shone!
The same light that lit the stars, the glory of the skies was in His face - full of Grace and Truth.
Everything changed that night.
Angelic messengers have been coming and going since the dawn of time.
Perhaps they climbed up and down on Jacob’s ladder - bringing news of Heaven to Earth.
Then in a flurry of angelic visitations and divine revelations, God made preparations for Heaven to come in person! Zecheriah was told of John the Baptist’s birth and role as “Fore-runner.” Mary had to be let in on the little secret of her pregnancy, conceived by the Holy Spirit! Good thing Joseph also got the message, straight from an Angel!
Wise men saw it in the stars
and were then warned in a dream not to share the details about the “new” King
with the wicked “old” King Herod.
Shepherds got the royal celestial light show,
complete with a “cast of thousands” to accompany the “Word” that was told them.
All because Heaven was breaking out - it couldn’t contain itself
It spilled over and onto the earth that blessed, Holy night.
Now we, who with unveiled faces behold the Lord’s glory,
can be a part of God’s unfolding plan to bring heaven to Earth.
Thy will be done! Let Heaven come! In every heart prepare Him room!
