Jesus Is the Reason

Luke 2:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
 
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished 
that she should be delivered, and she brought forth her firstborn son, 
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; 
because there was no room for them in the inn.

Jesus Is The Reason

On the very first Christmas, God exited His throne,
And into Human flesh laid Himself in a manger.
Glory Himself was birthed into a baby and swaddled,
To scandal shrouded Mary, was born a world changer.

By embracing obedience He took a common life,
 And accomplished a miracle by elevating the mundane.
Salvation lay nestled among the creature food,
The humblest of beginnings for His eternal reign.

Now each Christmas I find myself more thankful,
While being touched by the story of Jesus' birth.
I praise Him for the things that I don't comprehend,
While analyzing once more, to each, His worth.

Merry Christmas
