Christmas Thoughts

Christmas is the birthday of The King of Kings, The Only wise God, The Prince of Peace, namely Jesus. My husband and I have interesting discussion about many things. Yesterday, the discussion centered around Jesus' DNA. What? Yes, we talk about different things often. The thought my DH has is that Jesus had to have looked exactly like His mother because hers was the only DNA Jesus had. His Father was Spirit, hence no DNA, right? Right. I do have my own opinions about many things when we have our talks, however on this one I would agree with my husband. I truthfully never considered what Jesus may have looked like, other than probably short in stature and Jewish looking. I don't think He looked much like the anglican-looking paintings I have seen of Him. I suppose it doesn't much matter what He looked like, but I do like to think about these things. Our first grandson who was born in July, started out looking very much like his mama. Now that he is 5 1/2 months old, I see a lot of his daddy in his looks. I must say, my grandson has the cutest and most varied expressions of any baby ever. His emotions shine forth in each of the faces he makes. Oh, I digress. :) So, since Jesus must have been the clone (physically speaking) or the spitting image of His mama, then His Father's side contributed 100 % of His Spirit. Have you ever looked at a person and thought before even talking to them, that he/she wasn't very good looking? But then, after you sit down, spend some time with him/her, the countenance of that person radiates beauty and you begin to see the spirit of the person more and more. This is true of Our Savior. I have often wondered how I will recognize my dad, my brother, my grandparents, and even my miscarried child when I get to heaven. I don't think it will be from their DNA, rather it will be their spirit that will shine in my direction. Merry Christmas or as our pastor says, "Now that's something to celebrate!"
