Merry Christmas, and welcome to Chapel City Church! This time of year is filled with reminders of what God has done. More than carols and comfort, more than family and tradition, we are reminded that the exalted Son of God took on flesh to redeem sinners. The greatest became the least, and in the most humble circumstances the Christ came into his creation. But humility was not only a mark of the birth of Christ. Jesus demonstrated the gentle and lowly nature of his ministry even as he came into the city where the messiah would rule from. Typically, we think about the Triumphal Entry around Easter. But how can it help us think about Christmas? How does understanding the coming of the king help us to prepare for when he comes again? Know that we are praying for you during a season that is more busy and stressful than most. If there is something specific that we can pray about, or if there is a need that we might be able to come alongside and help with, please reach out and let us know.
This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.”
Matthew 21:4-5
