P. 7
What’s so amazing about the first messianic prophecy—this strange and
obscure prophecy of conflict between the seed of the woman and the
serpent—is that it tells us that, from the very beginning, God has been
preparing Christmas for us.
You see, God is not a last-minute God, slapping together our salvation in
some kind of improvisational move. And God isn’t a seasonal God, do-
ing God-like things only at pre-set times. No. Our God is an eternal
God, and a sovereign God, and He works His purposes out for us and
this world eternally and sovereignly. Into the very blueprint of creation,
God has woven His love and grace for us. And Genesis 3:15 assures us
that God has been preparing Christmas for us forever.
Pastor John
Prayer: Gracious Lord: Since you have prepared Christmas for us from
the very beginning, help us to prepare ourselves for Christmas this year
with faith and love and hope.
