Psalm 24
Today's Advent Reading

I wonder how much the shepherds understood when the angels called them to the manger to see the baby Jesus. For that matter, how much did Mary and Joseph really understand about this newborn king, the one they called their child, their son? I love the song written by Mark Lowry and Buddy Green, Mary Did You Know. The lyrics speak of the majesty and sacrifice of this child, and what he would be like as he grew into a man.

God, the creator of the universe, entered humanity as a baby. The Lord, pure and holy, the Lord strong and mighty, became one of us. As this psalm calls for gates and doors to open to let the King come in, we too should allow him into our hearts this Advent season and all through the year.
