Chaplain’s Column: Jesus Comes To Us
As the
Christmas season approaches I have found myself thinking about How Jesus came
to earth and the way he started His ministry. Jesus came in a manger for you
and for me. He willingly left the glories and riches of heaven to be born in a
stable. He took the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men
(Philippians 2:7).
Jesus became
poor so that we might become rich. He lived a life of such abject poverty that
when He had to pay taxes, He had to look for a coin in a fish’s mouth (Mathew
17: 24-27). When He sent out His disciples, He told them to take nothing but a
staff and the power of the Holy Spirit (Mark 6:7-9). He was put to death like a
common criminal so that we could wear a royal robe!
Child of God,
you are rich! I am rich! Praise God! I would encourage each of you to read
Philippians 2:6-11 with your family or friends today as a Christmas devotional.
Spend time praising God for His Son, Jesus.
I would like
to take this opportunity to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas. It has
been a blessed year for the Dragoons.
