Emmanuel

Emmanuel
Metaphysical and supernatural are not usually the words we associate with Christmas.

They are more appropriately aligned with the semantics of gurus and eastern affiliated beliefs and dogma.

After all, Christmas is about the birth of our Divine Savior informally presented as a mere babe swaddled and innocently nestled in an animal's trough dependent on mortal care and action with a stark absence of superhuman supremacy or self-sufficiency.

Yet, all around the Christ Child a different tale transpired, one of great expectancy and inexplicable grandeur from the amazing overhead gleaming star to the long traveling three kings paying homage and apprised field shepherds.

This event was clairvoyantly foretold in the distant past and revealed only by Divine decree and handiwork outsourcing human means and mindsets.

Outwardly, the scene conventionally depicted a recently birthed infant and his post-partum mother, but those chosen to partake in the exceptional image knew of the mystical and unexplainable announcements and astounding transactions and nuances that transformed this seemingly typical occurrence into Holy and revered as divine ordinance, the manifestation of God, Emmanuel.

Although it may not be the preferred lingo of Christians, both prophesy and Bible readings cite circumstances far too prodigious and intricately woven together to dispute that sacred texts meaningfully and directly were and are esoteric divulgences of God whispered to prophets and common people like Mary and Joseph.

Jesus was born over two thousand years ago, but we experience His miraculous birth and love each Christmas season as we open our hearts to Him and His bountiful global affection and peace.

Thereby, we become activated conduits, transferring His powerful indiscriminate love to others, generating it externally to a world dwelling in darkness and parched of His Living Water elixir and eternal Bread of Life.

Jesus was miraculously implanted in Mary's womb through the power of the unseen Holy Spirit, which defies science but is in accordance with our prayerful Nicene Creed to "believe in all things visible and invisible."

It would seem that there are leaps of faith required when internalizing sacred scripture which transcribes to trusting in God's word and promises despite temporal implausibility and incredibility.

Numerous encounters with angels communicated Good News, admonishments, and guidance to Mary, Joseph, and the three Magi.

As part of the mystical realm, angels are normally imperceptible but are distinctly illuminated to report God's messages and proclamations.

Celestial phenomenon also joined the Nativity as a remarkable star unlike any other glistening and showcasing God's Promise, clearly highlighting prophesy, and exposing and pinpointing the Messiah.

Even though symbolism is utilized throughout the Old Testament, Christmas is so much more than a sign or an object.

It is the encapsulation of God's omnipotence, will, and spiritual metamorphosis showcasing the unseeable or abstract into tangible and evidential.

These otherworldly instances and marvelous graces fill the Bible and are waiting to permeate your heart with sublime ambiance and unimaginable joy.

Embrace and extol the Extraordinary. Merry Christmas!
