An Infant Born of Glory

Every year we look forward the great gift of the Behold the Lamb of God Concert….An Advent Narrative experience. We are grateful to have it back in Richmond this year (even though we're not hosting).

This month, we will focus on devotionals that accompany this theme. If you’re interested, grab a copy of the CD by Andrew Peterson and friends and/or grab a copy of Behold the Lamb of God book written by Russ Ramsey. Or read the devotionals…whatever delights you!

Gather round, ye children, come
Listen to the old, old story
Of the power of death undone
By an infant born of glory
Son of God
Son of man

Life changes when a grandchild is gifted to one’s family. We received our first on August 16, 2016 and our second on February 9, 2018. It's been such a pleasure to watch them grow over the past few years, to see them develop personalities, to witness them take in the wonders of the world. They haven't even seen much of the world yet, and still, they often say, "Woah," in complete wonder at something that's happened (even if it's mostly the television).

I personally think all infants are born of glory. Today, as a devoted Meme, the infant born of glory, son of God and son of Man, Jesus, has fresh and renewed significance for me. My grandchildren have begun life on planet earth and I pray that they find it habitable.
