Worship in Wonder
Jesus is God.
He was the word in the beginning animating the emptiness with light.
He was there, in the garden, after Eve reached out and took the forbidden fruit, shared it with Adam, and the human race fell into sin.
He heard Abel’s blood cry out from the ground when Cain murdered him.
He was there when Noah built the ark. He was there when God put the rainbow in the sky to promise to never destroy the earth again.
He beheld Abraham as he raised His hand to kill Isaac and caused the ram to be trapped in the bush.
Jesus was there in the burning bush with Moses, and in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
He called to Elijah while he was on the run from Jezabel and stood with Elisha when the bones came together in the valley.
Jesus watched the angel touch Isaiah’s lips with the coal, and He heard Amos’ struggle to accept his calling as a prophet. He wept with Jeremiah and stood with Joshua. He protected Ruth and lifted up Rahab. He strengthened David’s heart in the cave and gave him songs to sing, and then poured wisdom and knowledge through Solomon’s quill.
He was the architect of Ezekiel’s temple and the final words of Malachi’s prophecy.
Jesus was even there during the four hundred years of silence as the Pharisees, Sadducees, Zealots, Maccabees, and the people of God built up rules that pushed Him away.
Jesus was in all these places because He is God.
“And when the time was ripe, He humbled Himself and took the form of a helpless baby, that we might know Him, to God who knows our suffering.
“The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” Because they recognized who Jesus, the baby, was.
Do you? If so, then your appropriate response, every day, and especially at Christmas, is worship.
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
