Merry Christmas!

I was thinking that when Jesus was conceived, it must have been around Passover. So did he die EXACTLY 33 years after conception? That sounds like something God would orchestrate…

When I see a newborn, and think that Jesus came to us precisely that way, laying aside his glory and power, I’m in awe. His trust in God the Father never wavered. He knew the Father.

So when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, like Christ, I should fear no evil, because I know God, and I know that He is good. Whatever happens to me is precisely orchestrated for my good and His glory.

I still marvel at the idea that we serve a good God. Think about God’s goodness for a while and see how deep that rabbit hole goes.

Merry Christmas, my fellow strangers and pilgrims!
