The Grand Entry

Posted on Dec 9, 2021 in Devotions |

Introduction: Did Jesus enter the world with pomp and prestige? Not hardly. Truthfully, most didn’t recognize the occasion. Like today, a supernatural event like the rapture will occur and most will not give a rip! But to those of us who are saved, it was a FANTASTIC entry to say the least!

1. ANGELS bowed before Him to WORSHIP the promised SAVIOR of the World, JESUS CHRIST!

“5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.” (Heb 1:5, 6)

Right now in heaven, angels are waiting and ready for the Son of God’s beckoning call. While dispatching some of the angelic hosts in the heavenly realm to carry out His will, other cherub and seraphim are encircling His throne with praise and worship.

Imagine. What is heaven going to be like? There will be “Non-stop” and continuous worship before the LAMB of God.
Why? Because the LION from the tribe of Judah and the One called the ROOT of David is the only One worthy in heaven or on the earth to open the book and seals according to JOHN’S REVELATION.

The word “first Begotten” is πρωτότοκος, (pro-tot-ok’-os), which means first-born.

2. GREAT NEWS…JESUS takes on a human body!

“Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:” (Heb 10:5)

In order to relate to man, Jesus had to become a man. Besides that, He had to be tempted, etc., to experience our infirmities and weaknesses as a Man (the God man). And yet, He did so without sin. Therefore, He could be the perfect sacrifice; thus fulfilling all the demands of a holy God by providing redemptive blood to atone for man’s sin. Not only do we experience forgiveness of sin, but we are reconciled back into a personal relationship with our Creator, by becoming His sons and daughters. Plus, we are guaranteed a home in heaven in the future.

Conclusion: Much of the world is oblivious to the magnitude of the birth of Jesus Christ. Had Jesus not come to earth and taken on a human body, we would be forever lost without HOPE! While He did not have a GRAND ENTRANCE,
we who name the name of JESUS recognize the birth of our LORD and SAVIOR is the very BEST thing (and His resurrection & second coming) that has ever happened! Do you agree?

Love y’all,
