Vital signs- Thursday December 21st, 2023

”His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.“

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

On some of the final pages of the Bible, Christmas appears one last time. This is the Christmas story told from the heavenly perspective. The onlooker in Bethlehem would have only seen a couple of poor teenagers and shepherds gathered around a baby in a food trough. But the war of eternity was waging all around them. Satan knew that the Messiah was coming into the world to free his people from his very own grip. God was sending His Son into enemy territory to finally crush the head of the serpent promised in Genesis 3. God had made his move and salvation was coming to all people. It was only a matter of time before Jesus would usher in a new kingdom, defeat death, and Satan, and claim His throne over all the nations. Christmas morning was a display of God’s certain and mighty power.

That authority and power is ours as God followers. May we not live beneath the privilege granted us by the Father In Jesus name.
