Advent Devotion ~ Michael Card ~ To the Mystery (Day 16)

Michael Card again... To the Mystery. When I think on the Christ, that God so loved me that He would lay down His life for me? That He would come to be like us.. so we can be more like Him? Ahhhhhh. Yes. Thinking on what the Lord of Lords has done for me can not help but cause me to fall down on my knees before Him!

Let us Rejoice today, praising God for our Savior. This week we look forward to Christmas with great joy.. and it is as it should be. Give thanks to the Lord! Our Abba Father sent His Son from Heaven to Earth, to live a human life, and to be a perfect sacrifice for us. His love for us is so great. Bask in the love of God and praise His Holy Name. The Holy Child of God comes.

TO THE MYSTERY

When the Father longed to show
A love he wanted us to know
He sent his only son and so
Became a holy embryo

That is the Mystery
More than you can see
Give up on your pondering
And fall down on your knees

No fiction as fantastic and wild
A mother made by her own child
The hopeless babe who cried
Was God Incarnate and man deified

Because the fall did devastate
Creator must now recreate
And so to take our sin
Was made like us so we could be like Him
