You Know Who

You Know Who So I made this comment about “how about a little peace on earth for a couple of days until You Know Who comes back bringing the eternal peace?”. You know, let’s all just get along for a couple of days. Granted that is like asking a couple of two years olds to share a toy. ---Of course, I assumed most of the people reading my comment knew who You Know Who was. And then I thought what was the easiest way to clarify. Well, God already did that when He told the parents what to name the baby (Mt.1:23), Immanuel. The name was a dead give-away. His name means “God with us.” God’s story of redemption is not hidden throughout the Scriptures. It is immersed throughout the Scriptures. Yes, it was a bit murky for the people when it first happened, but God was hiding it from Satan, the want-to-be spoiler. God brought the baby in right under his nose, yet left clues that could be traced back. God is awesome. He says what He does ahead of time. --- It reminded me of a new game we played the other day with the family. Everyone has three blank slips of paper, and writes down a person, place or thing on each separate paper and turns in to a draw pile. You divide into two teams, and then you go three rounds describing those same words to your team in a variety of ways (first by description kind of like the game “taboo”, then charades, then only using one word). By the time you get to the third round you’ve already heard the words twice, so you have a clue, and one word is usually a sufficient description. ---We know who Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God, Immanuel, the Wonder Counselor, the Lion of Judah is because He and He alone fits the mold for You Know Who. We worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords every day, not just special occasions. ---This Christmas I pray that you know You Know Who by name. Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. --Isaiah 7:14 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.---Isaiah 9:6 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.--Luke 1:31 Merry Christmas!
