Scripture Meditations

                          Please Read Luke 2 Christmas is the time of the year that we recognize the birth of Christ. But do we really stop to ponder what that means? Do we ever truly meditate on the significance of this monumental event? The Eternal Lord of the universe became man! Clothed Himself in human vesture to dwell on earth amongst His people. His creation.  In Luke chapter 2, we see the reactions to the birth of Jesus in two places: the physical world and the spiritual realm.  In the spiritual realm, we see the choir of angels singing praises to their King, who was now wrapped in flesh and lying in a manger. In the physical world, we see the shepherds receiving the message from the angel and later encountering Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus.

  What’s interesting about this chapter is that it’s narrated by King Nebuchadnezzar himself. This sudden change of narration highlights the importance of his personal account and how it ends. King Nebuchadnezzar actually begins his account by praising God, acknowledging His creation and sovereign authority. Nebuchadnezzar then begins to explain a troubling dream he’s been having, admitting that Daniel was the only one who can interpret the dream.  In the dream, there was this huge tree. It was strong and so tall, it reached the heavens. The tree could be seen from everywhere on earth . It was a beautiful tree that provided both fruit and shade to animals and people alike.

This being then declared that the stump is to be bound with an iron chain . But then the heavenly watcher begins to use a male pronoun to refer to th...
