Last Christmas my Christmas Cactus bloomed in late winter....after Christmas. Disappointing.
Imagine my delight when I saw a bloom forming in early November!
Yes! It's going to bloom at Christmas. And it did.......one wonderful red bloom.
Just one.
As I've watered and cared for the plant, I've wondered.......
why only one bloom? What happened to the rest? Why did they never form?
Slowly, a truth long planted in my heart began to surface.
Just one....
Just one came from heaven to earth
Just one lived a perfect life
Just one shed His blood on a cross
Just one paid the price for my sin
Just one died and rose again so I might have eternal life with God.
Just one baby that we celebrate at Christmas........
Just one Jesus, Prince of Peace, Emmanuel... God with us!
Merry Christmas!
Matthew 1:21
She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Isaiah 9:6
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
