Jesus was conceived in the womb of the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit; and born of her.

He finished the work of salvation for His people; and returned to the glory of the Father.

~ So that He is now filling us with His grace; by the Holy Spirit birthing us into His kingdom, and swaddling us with His love.

He is continually filling and overwhelming us, so as to conform us to His image and bring us to His glory.

Gracious Father, we praise you for your plan of redemption.  No man could have thought of such a means of saving your people.  Open our hearts to your Spirit and the life of Christ in us that delivers us from the law of sin and death.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.
