“A
Night to Remember"
“For unto you is
born this day in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:11
How
still the night when Christ was born
In a manger
in the House of Bread
While the
world did sleep, unbeknownst to them
Came man’s
Hope just as the Father had said.
No royal
robes were given to Him,
No servants
attending to His cry;
His
attendants were shepherds, sheep, cattle and
such
As Mary sang
to Him a lullaby.
Although in
the Heavens an angelic choir did appear
With songs
of “Hosanna” and praise,
Very
few took note of what happened that night
As they
continued on in sin’s malaise.
Yet, in the
years that did pass by
This baby
became a Man—
One Whose
life would turn the world upside down
In ways that
none would understand.
Those Hands,
so small as babies’ are,
Would one
day be pierced by nails;
No longer
would His cries be those of a cooing child
As on Him
all sin did assail.
But soon
from those Blood-splotched lips of His
A different
cry would erupt,
“It is
finished”
and “I’m alive evermore”—
Shouts which
nothing can ever, ever, ever disrupt.
How
wonderful it is to remember that Night
When God
stooped down in love
And gave to
us life’s most Wondrous Gift—
The Gift of
His own Son from above.
May we
forever give thanks to the Father on high
As we
struggle in our sinful plights,
Remembering
that Hope Eternal was born in Bethlehem
On that
first, most blessed, Christmas night.
