Though the Christmas season nears its close, we still marvel at the mystery of the Incarnation—the moment God’s eternal Word “leaped down” from his royal throne to dwell among us. By looking at the promises made to Jeremiah and the faithful waiting of Simeon and Anna, we see that Christ’s incarnation wasn’t an afterthought, but the perfect fulfillment of God’s action in history to liberate you from the slavery of sin. This King did not come to make us his subjects, but to adopt us as a sons and heirs, having a share in his own inheritance. As his adopted and chosen people, we now respond with lives of prayer, persevering in holiness, and boldly preaching the truth to all.
