Advent Meditation Week Three

Advent the celebration of the arrival of Christ BUT Christ did not arrive in an airplane or a rocket ship. Why not remember How Christ really arrived for Our Salvation


Meditation


Elizabeth and Mary spent all their waking moments with each other. Elizabeth was finally going to have a baby. She was finally going to have a family. Her child and Mary’s child will be so close. Elizabeth taught Mary so much. She taught her about babies and children, family and life, joy and pain. Inside Mary’s womb the baby was formed. Mary felt the baby kicking.


God looked down, he watched at his son formed in the womb. He had tracked each cell as it found its home, Even He marveled as each part of the body grew silently. He saw the first stir, He heard the first murmur, He gazed at the first smile and He responded to the child’s slight wave. The Almighty God who was lonely before creation of man was at his happiest watching his own son be created through a method that was His. He, as he had done since the creation of the first man so many years before, breathed the soul into the being. This is the passive conception that has connected all mankind to the Creator. The Son will please the Father, the Son will obey the Father, the Son will worship the Father, the Son will love the Father, and the Son will save the Father’s creation.
God saw what had happened and knew that it was good and HE CRIED.
