The Birth of Jesus


(Isaiah 7:10-16; Micah 5:1-6; Matthew 1:18-25)

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. This was the first census to take place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the City of David called Bethlehem, since he was from the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to him in marriage and was expecting a child.

While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born. And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. ~ Luke 2:1-7, Berean Study Bible

On December 22, 2016, I composed the haiku poem that is in the above-illustrated haiku that I call Divine Reversal Haiku.

Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! ~ Philippians 4:4-5, MSG

Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down. ~ Romans 12:15, MSG

There is an appropriate time to do all things—the right time for every earthly event. However, even though this time of the year is festive and exciting for most people, there will be some individuals and/or families who will be feeling hopeless and weary. Let us always be ready not only to rejoice with the folks who want us to celebrate with them but also be ready to care for the ones who need us to demonstrate compassion for them. 

NOTE: The haiku in my illustrated Holidays Haiku is from Perfect Peace (2015)—my collection of haiku poetry.

Bride of Christ Haiku

03 Saturday Dec 2016

Body of Christ, Bride of Christ, building not made by hands, called out assembly, Christ's Ekklesia, dressed in linen, genuine saints, glorified, permitted to wear white, sanctified, spiritual believers

brideofchristhaiku

 

And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out:

“Hallelujah!
     For our Lord God, the Almighty, reigns.
Let us rejoice and celebrate
     and give Him the glory.
For the marriage of the Lamb has come,
     and His bride has made herself ready.
She was given clothing of fine linen,
     linen bright and pure.”
For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then the angel told me to write, “Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” ~ Revelation 19:6-9, Berean Study Bible

Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, shining with the glory of God. Its radiance was like a most precious jewel, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. ~ Revelation 21-9-11. Berean Study Bible

NOTE: I wrote the haiku poem in my illustrated haiku on December 3, 2016.
