Nancy Leigh DeMoss ponders on some amazing things about the first Christmas;

• The God who opens the womb, giving the gift of children, became a child growing in the womb of a woman.
• The One we depend on for everything became dependent on human parents.
• The One who holds the universe in His hands was held in the arms of Mary.
• The One who created the first woman was born of a woman.
• The Ancient of Days became a newborn.
• The Helper became a helpless baby.
• The Creator became a creature.

She goes on to say that Psalm 29:4 tells us God's voice is powerful and majestic. That powerful, majestic voice was reduced to a baby's cry.

If you think about it, Christmas is astonishing. The God in flesh deserves our thanks and worship.
