It made me think about how excited Matt and I (as well as any other parents awaiting their child's birth) were waiting to meet Samuel! I couldn't wait to be a mom, see his face, and hold him, kiss him all over... so many emotions during the waiting period! I can't imagine how much more thoughts and emotions were going through people's minds and hearts while waiting for Jesus Christ to be born.
The hope he was to bring the world. Some believed what was said, that he would one day be Christ, King and some thought it was insane. For those who believed, I can't imagine how they felt and how hopeful they were while awaiting his birth and the excitement that was going on.... and how thankful they were on that day and after because of fulfilled promises
This was probably just a glimpse...
Merry Christmas (early!)
