Do You See What I see?
by Myrtle (Virginia) Thompson We miss so much at Christmas if we know only the story of the babe in the manger. "Do you see what I see," a line from a popular Christmas song, is the story as Scripture outlines it that the second person of the Triune God became man and was born as a baby. John called this Baby "the Lamb of God" who became the sacrifice for our sins. The Bible is a narrative, a "one liner" message tracing God's plan for a fallen creation from the first Adam to the "second Adam," Christ. Its message flows from the promise of a Savior in Genesis 3:15 to the promise of how the world will end in Revelation. Through the prophets, God revealed more and more until He revealed His whole plan in the Scriptures. Myrtle Virginia Thompson, missionary (ret) in Asia and the Middle East, and now in the USA. I am a published writer but most of my writing is done as a "reflection" for my friends and family. I began studying the Scriptures in 1944, when I committed my life for missionary service.
