Christmas Mystery
The Mystery
That Jesus came is the greatest Christmas Mystery
and the best wonder of all.
That God’s love brought to us that greatest gift of love
is the greatest story and the greatest sacrifice of all.
From Genesis on, the mysterious thread
weaves down through the greatest love story of time.
And this greatest and best story is also mine.
From Creator to Christ Child to Sacrifice and risen Savior
and to Redeemer of all,
The story is surrounded by the greatest Mystery of all.
His Love first created, then watched His created
bring sin and shame to the world that He made.
Yet His love willingly came and willing gave
for that Love can never, ever fade.
He is Love. . . and Love died and rose again
for all mankind, including me.
How can that be?!
Jesus, the Gift, comes into our world,
our messes, and our brokenness
and – if we are willing – He makes us whole.
He takes what is wounded and ravaged and scarred
and restores and brings healing to all those who call.
It is always His plan and His hope and His dream
to take what is shattered and broken by sin
and restore what the locusts have taken away
and make things complete from the battered and fray.
That is the greatest love,
the greatest Gift,
And the greatest Mystery of all.
