Give thanks to the Lord, call on God’s name; make known God’s deeds among the nations; proclaim that God’s name is exalted. 5 Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be known in all the earth. 6 Shout aloud and sing for joy, O royal Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 12:4-6 (NRSV)
During the Christmas season we remember when the Holy Son of God gives up his throne to be born in a manger. He comes to live in our midst. Jesus is born into a humble family to a young woman and growing up the son of a carpenter. His simple life is completely unlike the life that we would imagine for the Son of God. The resistance that God’s Holy One faces from Holy leaders and royalty is hard to believe. We could never picture his physical suffering and death for the Son of God.
The truth of this is that Jesus comes and lives among us. Through his life and death we learn that God understands our joys and sadness.
Partners in Worship, Shell Lake, wishes that everyone receive the joyful news; “Christ is born.”
Pastor David Jensen
