Christmas

Have you every waited for something or someone. We all have, it seems that the longest hours of our lives is spent waiting. This becomes more evident at Christmas, we wait. We wait for Santa, we wait for family to arrive, we wait in lines while shopping, we wait in traffic, and we wait for dinner. ‘Ti's the season to be waiting.
The accompanying emotion with waiting is anticipation. As we wait we start getting “antsy” about what might be. It is part of the human condition. Thinking about this can you imagine waiting your whole life? How about waiting for generation after generation, the Old Testament is just that, the people of God were waiting for the arrival of messiah. The prophets had described him and the people anticipated his arrival. When he slipped onto the scene they missed him. Look at this ……
"All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’)." Isaiah 7:13
Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies about himself. The odds of him fulfilling just 8 prophecies are astronomical but 300 are unreal! There is no doubt that he was God in flesh! Jesus was worth the wait!
