Adoration

Adoration is the highest form of praise because of who God is. It is God revealing himself to us.
The Christmas hymn says, “oh come, let us adore him.” Our adoration is always a response to God’s self-revelation. We adore Him because He first reveals Himself to us. When the shepherds encountered the angels, they saw heaven revealed:
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:14)
The revelation led to worship: “The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God…” (Luke
2:20) Whenever Christ is revealed—through Scripture, or in worship—the only fitting response is
adoration. At Christmas we celebrate the Christ-child because of who he is not all the things he is about to do for us, and this is true adoration.
Blessings my friends. I hope to see you Sunday.
