Christmas by Juxtaposition


Juxtaposition:  the act or an instance of placing two or more things side by side often to compare or contrast or to create an interesting effect.

God’s interesting effects: 

That the Infinite One would wrap Himself in flesh and become a baby (Matt 1:20-21).

That the Eternal One would enter time and space and would become flesh and dwell among us (John 1:14).

That the King of Kings would be born in a lowly manger (Luke 2:7).

That the angels would announce His birth not to the powerful or influential or rich but to a group of shepherds and the night shift ones at that (Luke 2:8-18).

But the juxtapositions didn’t stop with Christmas, they continued:

That the One who knows all things would grow in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52).

That the Ruler of all would become a servant (Mark 10:45).

That the One who created all things and holds all things together would become poor for our sake so that by His poverty, we might become rich (2 Cor 8:9).

That the sinless One would become sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:21).

God’s interesting effects: make those miraculous, incredible, awesome and mind-blowing effects!

Excel Still More!

To excel, according to some of the meanings from a few dictionaries, is to surpass others, do extremely well, outdo, do something better than anyone else. In 1 Thessalonians 4:1, we find the phrase “excel still more”.   It prompts the question:  if we are already doing something better than anyone else, why would we be encouraged to do even more? Perhaps it would be helpful to see the wording that other translations use for “excel still more” to see why we would be encouraged to do so.  Here is a sampling: • abound more and more • to keep doing so more and more • but try even harder • live that way more and more. • that you progress even more. • that you increase more and more in how you ought to walk Maybe it would also be helpful to see some other verses where the word “excel” is used: “Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which when translated means Dorcas); this woman was excelling in acts of kindness and charity which she did habitually.”...

Value Proposition

Value proposition:  it’s a marketing statement that summarizes why a consumer should buy a product or use a service.  It should clearly and concisely communicate what customers can gain from selecting a particular brand over that of its competitors. In a value proposition, you don’t want your product to be viewed as being worth less than what your competitors offer.   But even worse, in a bit of a quirk of how letters and spaces can fall, if you take out the space between “worth” and “less”, you get “worthless”, which means something of no value.   If that word is used in conjunction with how your product is viewed by customers, it’s a word that will likely kill your brand. In the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul, in a sense, communicated some value propositions. In chapter three, he starts off with describing the value of some things that many considered as extremely valuable in that day and age.   They had to do with status and achievement in the reli...

Hide Not...

Over the centuries, the words have brought great comfort and encouragement.   The words are often used as a benediction or a blessing:   The Lord bless you and keep you: The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you: The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.   (Num 6:24-26)   What in the world is a countenance?  By definition, it is a person's face or facial expression. So if the Lord’s face shines upon us and if He lifts up His countenance upon us, what does all that mean? It means that He is giving us His attention.  But even more so, His face shining upon us gives us t he picture of a beaming face like that of a parent for their beloved child.  And the reference to Him lifting up His countenance points to God extending divine favor and peace to us. Sometimes we can appreciate things more by seeing opposites.  The opposite of a lifted face is a face that has fallen, perhaps because of sham...
