This is the time of year when Christians like to read about the birth of their Savior. The hallmark accounts are found in Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2. But Christmas passages are found in several other places in Scripture as well.
If you’re looking for “new” and “fresh” accounts of the incarnation, here are a few you may want to read this season:
The Prince of Peace: Isaiah 9:1-7
The Virgin-born Child: Isaiah 7:13-16
The Root of the Tribe of Jesse: Isaiah 11:1-9
The Birth in Bethlehem: Micah 5:1-4
The Cosmic Christmas: John 1:1-5
The Birth of the God-Man: Phil. 2:6-11
The Firstborn of Creation: Col. 1:15-20
These passages remind me that Jesus was so much more than a babe in a manger. He’s...
The Second Person of the Trinity,
The Eternally Pre-existent Son,
The Lord of Creation,
The Firstborn,
The Image of the Invisible God,
The Root of Jesse,
The Branch that Will Bear Fruit,
The Judge Who Strikes the Earth,
Immanuel,
The Word Made Flesh,
God,
The Light that Shines in the Darkness,
The True Light that Gives Light to Every Man,
The One Who Gives Us the Right to Become Children of God,
The Ruler of Israel,
The One Whose Origins are from Ancient Times,
The Shepherd of His Flock,
The Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
Reading these fuller Christmas stories moves me to worship and bow before him, which is what the Christmas season is all about. Isn’t it?
