Jesus had an earthly family including Uncle Zecharias. His uncle believed in Jesus as being more than a nephew because of his own experience with the miraculous. We know Zecharias tracked his son, John the Baptist, and probably stood on his tippy toes to follow Jesus activity. How remarkable to be so close. We look at the incarnation from today on our corner in our decade. I have been posting and reading. We all have our favorite Bible verses related to Christmas. I keep writing your’s down and here is a partial list to add to a collection for 2025, in no particular order.
Luke 1:14 – “And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.”
Luke 1:35 – “And the angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.'”
Luke 1:45 – “Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”
I Cor 13:8-10 – “Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part…But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.”
Col 1:15 – “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.”
