Keith Green - Oh Lord, You're Beautiful

The divine birth.....

Way back in time....before anything....there was GOD.

And there was JESUS.

And there was the HOLY SPIRIT

The three of them are sitting around the most beautiful table you have ever seen..( eyes have not seen)

God the Father is speaking...He says: “I am, through you JESUS, and with the HOLY SPIRIT’S power,
going to make the most beautiful universe you have ever seen...it will hold the sun and the moon and millions of stars and galaxies
and other beautiful things”

And WE are then going to make beings....in our own image!

We will call them humans or mankind!"


God had already created angels, they lived in heaven with Him...

The Bible says there are so many angels, we cannot count them....

Angels are not people....people do not become angels when they die!

One of the most beautiful angels was called Lucifer......

He was in charge but he wanted more....he wanted to be god...

He loved the way all the other angels worshiped and adored God....he wanted that...

That meant he did not want to be obedient to God anymore....to be obedient to God is very important...the Bible tells us...
“Obedience is better than sacrifice”

So, because Lucifer was rebellious, that is called...sinful.....he could not stay in heaven, so he had to leave and one third of the angels left with him.

So, we read in Psalm 8 one of the angels asks God, “What is man, that You are mindful of him?”

Let’s try and imagine, just for a moment, that we can hear and see the angel’s response to what God has just done.

This awesome, mighty, sovereign GOD....has just created the universe out of nothing...He’s put the sun, the moon and the stars in their place...


this awesome God, now comes to this tiny speck, not much bigger than a peppercorn, in the scheme of things, EARTH....and makes, what seems to be a speck of dust....

into the shape of a human being....but what amazes the angel is how GOD is totally focussed on what he is doing!

The Bible tells us...”His thoughts towards us are precious...” Psalm 139

in seeing all this.... His thoughts towards us being precious, I think the angels maybe might have cried out,

“What is this...that You are so fondly affectionate towards?”

What is that tiny little thing...that is constantly on Your mind.....the total focus of Your plan?

Just think.......GOD created all the above.....just for you and me! Just so we could live on this speck....called earth...

The sun is just far enough away to keep us warm....any closer and we’d cook... any further....we’d freeze!

Then it happened....mankind followed the rebellious angel and disobeyed God......fell into sin.....

God said... "We need some one to redeem mankind....some one who is sinless.....

Some one who can repay the debt of sin.......He looked around the big round table...."


Jesus then looked at God, the Father and said...."I’ll go......I will pay the penalty for mankind.....I love them that much I will go to earth, be born as a human baby and restore them...bring them back into fellowship with us”

then He looked at the Holy Spirit and said.... “But I can’t go unless you come with me....You are the one with the power...”

The Holy Spirit said...."Right.....You go on ahead, and when the time is right....I’ll join you on earth.....”




The time had come......all was very quiet in Heaven.......

the angels were holding their breath.....

Jesus was walking down a long........ long corridor......the sides were lined with thousands and thousands of angels....you could have heard a pin drop....

Some mighty big doors opened.........Jesus kept walking........

one minute he was there.......the next he was gone........

The angels looked at each other........

They had a job to do too........they could not say anything till then, but now, they could shout it out!


They descended down to earth and sang and sang.....to shepherds in the fields tending their flocks by night....

Mary and Joseph were in a stable....a baby had just been born.....
Isaiah 9 v 6:

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and his name shall be called Wondeful, Counsellor, The mighty God,The everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace.”


JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
blessings...
