Fourth, on that beautiful Christmas night two-thousand years ago, the Christ shown God's fullness. He is full of grace! Who is like unto Him? He is full of truth! Pilate asked, "What is truth?" Truth is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is truth. Theology used to be considered the Queen of the Sciences. I'm so glad I'm a scientist by grace and that all believers are such as the Queen of the Sciences points us to the King of the Universe; the Savior of the World; the lover of our souls; our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Something ultimate happened on that beautiful Christmas night two-thousand years ago and our contemplation of it is deeply intellectual. We as Christians have the intellectual high ground as the wisdom of God demonstrates the wisdom of man to be foolishness. And yet, this intellectual pursuit grips our hearts and leads us to worship. It is not an either/or but a both/and. We worship God in spirit and in truth (Jn. 4:24)."
My daughter wrote a Christmas hymn this year. Let the truth expressed in the words engage your mind and grip your heart and lead you to worship your King: Christ Jesus.
"Long was the night when darkness reigned; When men were bound in sin and death.
No escape from hurt and pain; Not a sign of life or breath.
But in due time the darkness broke; A quick'ning ray and night awoke.
Oh world rejoice! Oh world rejoice, tonight!
Robed in glory, enthroned on high; One with God and God over all.
Emptied Himself, born to die; Came down to erase the fall.
Humbled Himself became a man; Fulfilled the Father's gracious plan.
O beauty bright! O beauty bright, tonight!
Born a babe yet truly the king; Stars in heaven He knows by name.
Hear O hear the angels sing; Guilty sinners He reclaimed.
Tonight, this night for all to see; Christ the savior was born for thee.
O sacred night! O sacred night, tonight!
[Chorus] - Tonight, tonight; O this beautiful Christmas night.
Oh world rejoice, O beauty bright; Oh world rejoice, O sacred night.
Tonight, tonight: O this beautiful Christmas night.
The Christ is born! The Christ is born, tonight!"
