“The beginning of the creation of God”

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Rev 3:14

This season of our Lord's first advent is of special significance to the Church because she owes her whole life and existence to this glorious seed. This one unique incorruptible seed. The unique Son of God!

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2cor 5:17-18

We rejoice abundantly in the incarnation . Why? Because God now can be seen in Person. 

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14

This is the final comprehensive and all sufficient revelation of the invisible God. To see Christ is to see the Father. And to see Him, in the beauty and humility of our manhood. To see, that is to comprehend him and to learn of him, by way of hearing, viewing, reflecting , and that by the power of the Holy Ghost, through the preaching of the gospel of His glory. 2cor 3:17,18 

This privilege ends the shadows, types, ceremonies and pictures of those things promised in old testament, and now are realized in a form, which seals the hope of the believer, who by election and predestination, and our union with him, will most assuredly by the mercy of God, be conformed into this glorious person's image. Rom 8:28,Epg 1:5

The birth of Christ, also fitted our Master for His office as our real substitute and sacrifice. This means the baby we celebrate will soon travel a bloody path to Golgotha. And there lay down His life for the sheep.

The birth of Christ is a vouchsafe for the new creation of men and women redeemed and preserved for all eternity to the praise of the glory of His Grace. With this view of the birth of our Savior, let us enjoy the memory of that once for all entrance into our World by the God who created all things, for His own glory!
