God
shall never forsake his creation. He has provided a kinsman Redeemer
for us to stand by us in times of crisis. People question His methods
in providing such as we revisit Bethlehem. The Hebrew word for
Bethlehem is “the House of Bread”. He is the bread of life!
When
raising three girls in years past I had one that always kept me on my
toes. One day I observed her lying on the ground seemingly lifeless.
I rushed to her side and asked her, once she got to her feet, why she
was on the ground. She left me with an everlasting gem! She told me
that she had stepped on an ant and was apologizing to the little
creature. My sudden response was that the ants could not understand
her.
Later it
came to me that God could not fully understand man and we Him. Thus
God became a man at His birth in Bethlehem, Israel. He then was our
personal friend, our comforter an ever-present one in our time of
trouble. Also as our Father He is there for us to jump into His lap
and address Him as our loving Father! Now reach out and tell Him what
is on your heart and mind. He became like us that we in turn may
become like Him. This Palm Sunday we recalled just how much He cared
in saving us in His very death!
God’s
love,
Peter
