Reflections on the Birth of Jesus, Christmas Eve, 2019

Christmas Eve worship with family has been the highlight of my year every year since I was a child. Some services have been better than others, but it is always an important night for me. I cherish it. This Christmas Eve service was particularly worshipful and moving.

As I reflected on the divine circumstances of the birth of Jesus, I was reminded that God is so good; that God’s power is made perfect in weakness; and that God does great works through seemingly small and insignificant people.

As I reflected on the human circumstances of the birth of Jesus, I was reminded that no pregnancy is unplanned and no baby is unwanted in the eyes of God and in His providential design.
