Today, we don't just celebrate another holiday.

Nancy DeMoss Wogglemouth reminds us that the incarnation is an amazing event.

God became a man.

He put on human flesh.

It's a miracle.

It's a wonder.

It's a marvel.

We can't understand it, but we believe it. And it is the basis for our faith that God put on flesh and came to this earth. He has visited us.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy DeMoss Wogglemouth. Merry Christmas.

What an honor to be visited by Jesus. First century Palestine blew their chance to welcome this special guest, and he had to sleep in a barn. We would never do anything like that, would we?

Before you answer too quickly, consider today's teaching from Nancy. Well, over the last two weeks, we've been looking at a wonderful passage. It's one of my new favorite passages in God's Word from

Luke chapter 1, the hymn or the benediction of Zachariah as he propheses

of the coming of Christ of this earth and what it will mean, what it did mean in those days,

what it means for all of us. And we've been looking at these great themes of redemption and salvation

and deliverance. And we've seen in this series that there's a past sense, a present sense, and a future sense

in which we experience God's salvation and his redemption. And now as we've talked in the last

day or so about the visitation of God, the same thing is true. We read the last portion of this

passage yesterday, and we talked about the

sunrise that will visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the

shadow of death. There's a past tense in which God has visited us. He did that when he sent Christ

to earth, the incarnation of Christ, which simply means

that God became a man. He put on human flesh. It's a miracle. It's a wonder. It's a marvel.
