He has spoken

I was reading this morning in Psalm 29, a beautiful song of worship to the Lord. As I read I noticed one phrase repeating: "The voice of the Lord..."
The psalmist reminds us that the voice of the Lord has power to create, power that thunders--shaking us to the core.
A voice of fire--power for destroying and refining.
A voice of majesty and glory, that compells us to worship.

And I was remind of this song by Michael Card:




The voice of the Lord spoke and "so was born the Son." The Lord Jesus came to earth as the Final Word. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." John 1:1

As we celebrate Christmas may we worship in awe that at the voice of the Lord the Lord Jesus stepped into time and space, and was born in a smelly barn, walked the earth with no place to lay His head, was nailed to a cross to die in the cruelest way known to man, to rise again to save us and bring us to Himself!

The writer to the Hebrews says it best:

"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs."
