Recently I learned about the amazing conception of Jesus. Imagine the very moment the womb of Mary conceiving the Seed of God by the Holy Spirit. Never had a virgin given birth. Never had a woman given birth to the Son of God. The eternal God becoming Immanuel, God with us, forever to dwell with us through Christ. The angels praised the Lord for such a miracle. He chose to come as a helpless babe, living a life of faith.
And learned about the faith of Mary.. When the angel told her that she will conceive and bear the Son of the Most High, in her "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word (Luke 1:38)." No wonder Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, exclaimed, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb (Luke 1:42)!"
Love love loooove the truth the hymns proclaim!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'angelic host problaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King."
Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the Everlasting Lord!
Late in time, behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Heal th' Incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King."
Hail the heav'nborn Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King."
