The mystery of Christ extends beyond the familiar story of a child born to a virgin in a lowly manger. This helpless baby is the same God who created, sustains, and will one day save the world. As Alistair Begg explains in this Christmas meditation, Jesus came to reveal the Father, to reconcile us to Him, and to reign as King in our hearts and over creation. In His sovereign arms we are eternally safe.
1Long ago, at many times and ain many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2but bin these last days che has spoken to us by dhis Son, whom he appointed ethe heir of all things, fthrough whom also he created gthe world. 3He is the radiance of the glory of God and hthe exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. iAfter making purification for sins, jhe sat down kat the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4having become as much superior to angels as the name lhe has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
