So, its almost Christmas!
Counting down with poems...

(When I struggle with arrogance, pride and my boastfulness, I think back to Jesus humbleness to come to this world as a man to save sinners. The doctrine of Incarnation and the Trinity has resulted in more profound worship in my own personal life, to see God’s love and His mysterious way of saving me.)
Who is this God that Christians call King,
To go through so much humbling,
As to come into this world,
Without a bigger proclamation herald?
Who is this Prince of Peace,
That troubled sinners He could have seize,
And crush by the swiftness of His hand,
Yet in an awe that I can not understand,
The God who burned Sodom and Gomorrah,
And flood the world back in the times of Noah,
Could come to this world as an infant,
A harmless little infant!
How could God Himself be fully man,
To have the same feet and hand,
Or better yet, why would God Almighty,
Choose a path that was rather lowly?
Why would one with the fullness of Glory,
Come down to earth in frail humanity,
And be placed in a manger,
The thought gets repulsive and stranger,
To learn that there was no room in the inn,
For this child of David’s kin.
He reign authority over the rulers of this world,
Yet as a child His humility threaten King Herod,
The thought that an earthly King,
Forced the escape to Egypt the King of Kings!
Oh God, Oh God, how can one not be touch,
To grasp the insight of how you loved so much.
Jesus, you’ve demonstrated love and humility,
Now help me to bend my knee.
