When you look up the word “majesty” in the dictionary, it is simply defined as “impressive stateliness, dignity, or beauty.”

There is no doubt that those words accurately describe the birth of the King of kings and Lord of lords! Although God’s design was for His Son to be born in a humble manger surrounded by animals in a modest setting not usually associated with the lifestyle of royalty, this lowly backdrop possessed a certain “impressive stateliness, dignity, and beauty!” The God of the universe demonstrated His extraordinary love for us in sending His one and only Son to be born of a virgin, bringing hope and light to a hopeless, dark world.

This Christmas, let us celebrate God’s great love and compassion for us in sending Jesus as our Savior and Messiah in simple dignity and beauty. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, a loving God offers each of us the gift of eternal life. That is the true hope of Christmas!
