The Glory of God in the Birth of Christ – He is Omnipotent


A third attribute of the Most High that one can see from the birth of Jesus Christ is God’s Omnipotence. With Him, all things are possible. 

The virgin birth, impossible with men, is possible only with God. No one in the history of mankind can ‘boast’ of this, except Jesus. Just as our Lord said when He was on earth, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Lk. 18:27) 

We come across numerous situations in our life where we are required to make decisions and choices. Each time, we are assailed with our human intellect, worldly wisdom and so-called logic. Yet, if we are willing to submissively bring all of our choices to the feet of God in complete surrender with the one plea, “I want you O King of the universe to have your way in my life,” – we will find the Sovereign One directing us in ways we could never have got to with our own intelligence.

Let us honour Him as King of our lives; let His will reign over all our desires. Let us lean on His mighty power - all the time remaining at rest, for He is in control. Let us constantly testify to our soul, “There is nothing my God cannot do.” 

Such faith that stems from sincerity and conviction not only honours God, it also paves the way for the working of the Almighty. And the beauty of it is that all the time, we are safe in His hand (protected); our decisions are guided by a perfect God (free from all error); and our lives are blessed (His favour is upon us).
