WEEK 52 – DAY 6

CHRISTMAS CONTEMPLATION

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25

Eternal Father, strong to save
I marvel at the gift You gave.
Implanting Your Son in a virgin’s womb
Knowing He would face death and the tomb.
 
His mother’s heart would someday grieve
His brothers would be slow to believe
They thought Him crazy and stated so,
But after He rose, then they would know.
 
Teaching, healing He came to serve
even those who did not deserve
The Sacrifice He came to be,
Guilty ones like you and me.
 
Ungrateful people with blinded eyes
Willfully failed to recognize
God incarnate, not mere man,
Fulfillment of Your perfect plan.
 
Our great High Priest, He entered in
Where no high priest had ever been
In the very presence of the Holy One
By sacrificing Himself, God’s only Son.
 
Now seated at the King’s right hand,
He ever lives to intercede for man.
The only mediator we need
Was Jesus who was born to bleed.
 
Oh, gracious Father, kind and true,   
May we forever worship You.
As we celebrate our dear Lord’s birth,
Remind us why He walked on earth.
