The Meek Were Kneeling
Posted on December 23, 2014 in Uncategorized
A small cathedral outside of Bethlehem marks to supposed birthplace of Jesus. Behind a high altar in the church is a cave, a little cavern lit by silver lamps.
You can enter the main edifice and admire the ancient church. You can also enter the quiet cave, where a star embedded in the floor recognizes the birth of the King. There is one stipulation, however. You have to stoop. The door is so low you can’t go in standing up.
The same is true of the Christ. You can see the world standing tall, but to witness the Savior,
you have to get on your knees.
So at the birth of Jesus…
while the theologians were sleeping
and the elite were dreaming
and he successful were snoring,
the meek were kneeling.
They were kneeling before the One only the meek will see. They were kneeling in front of Jesus.
From Max Lucado’s The Applause of Heaven
Kneel before Him today as you continue celebrating this Christmas season.
My love,
