Love - Glorious Love

Every parade has a grand marshal.  Sometimes it's a famous person returned home or perhaps an elected official but whoever it is, he has the honor of being the first in line.  Anything, of course, is better than being behind the horses!

 

By the world's measure, there was nothing glorious about Christ's birth. The thought of such accommodations is enough to make my fingers itchy to dial 1-800-HOLIDAYINN!  God would have no distraction, however, from the significance of Jesus' arrival so He came to us in the simplest and humblest of manner and place yet ... in full glory.  He left His Home in Glory but He did not leave His glory behind; it would the defining difference in this child from others and what drew praise, adoration, and honor from the heavens to every corner of Bethlehem.  The truth is He was love-come-down in all glory!  What kind of love is this?  Love – Glorious Love!
