Strength in Submission
At Christmas we celebrate that our omnipresent God entered into space and time as a baby. The Creator – who spoke the world into existence with the breath of His mouth – becomes part of His own creation. The all-powerful, sovereign, and in-control God becomes a helpless child with no control or ability at all, completely dependent on beings He created. Talk about submission! The message of the manger is a message of submission.
But Christlike submission is not a sign of weakness; it is a show of strength. Christlike submission is a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden, all of which takes great strength. Watch/listen to this message as Pastor Jeff Maness answers the question, "What kind of submission did Jesus display?"
