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 in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
