Integrity matters. It always has. It always will. Truth is not always popular, but it always withstands the light. Truth is a light.
Why come as a baby? Why come at all? How is it that the long expected Savior came in such an unexpected way? That is all part of the wonder of it all.
He said he would come, and He did. To be redeemed is to be free. There is a finality about it. When you redeem a coupon, it is done. Used up. Finished.
“Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people. He has sent us a mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David, just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago." Luke 1:68-70
A king came as a baby fulfilling a promise and countless prophecies from the Old Testament. For the mathematicians and data loving people, there is evidence of the promise, the plan, and "this, too, shall pass."
He did what he said he would do. In this we can find hope, joy, and the confidence to face whatever comes our way.
Today, I am grateful for promises kept.
