Prophecies filling hearts with hope for centuries; a moving star; angelic visits; a Heavenly army announcing God’s Peace Treaty with mankind, a Baby who is God the Son wrapped in flesh; a mission that would mean His death but would bring everlasting life to the world – O, the wonder of it all!
A cross for criminals holding the Righteous One; the Giver of Life between thieves; the King of Glory wearing a crown of thorns; kind words of forgiveness over the taunt of haters; a shout of triumph with a dying breath; Eternal Life enters the gates of death - O, the wonder of it all!
Grace toward sinners that cannot be measured; resurrection power toward all who place their trust in Him; faith, not works, offering salvation fairly to all; an exaltation from children of dust to sons and daughters of the Living God, far above the angels of glory – O, the wonder of it all!
That such a Gift could be ignored, rejected, scorned; that sinners would assume their own goodness, rather than their desperate lack of it, drew Him; that when He returns for His own, He will find faith in Him not allowed on the earth – O, the wonder of it all.
May we grow daily in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. to whom be glory both now and for ever (2 Peter 3:18). For His love is truly, “A Wonder that’s only begun.”
