Revelation 12:1-6 With one week left til Christmas, I wanted to share this year’s new Christmas picture; a visual exegesis of Christ’s birth as found in the book of Revelation… At the literary center of John’s vision lies the ‘great sign’ of a celestial woman in the agonies of giving birth (v.1-2). A seven-headed dragon […]
1 John 3:5, ‘…He appeared in order to take away sins…’ Jesus appeared—the Word was made flesh—in order to take away sins. But what does it mean that He takes away sins? Certainly He bears them in Himself as the representative head of redeemed humanity (2 Cor.5:21); certainly He secures their forgiveness through the sacrifice
Exodus 28:4-5, ‘They shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons to serve me as priests. They shall receive gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.’ The vestments of the priest are formed of the same materials as the tabernacle (Ex.26:1ff), which means that the high priest is
Isaiah 9:6, ‘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…Prince of Peace.’ God With Us, born into the heart of our darkness, given into the midst of our strife with one another and the midst of
This animation draws especially on Isaiah 25:6-9. In that passage, Isaiah envisions the day of YHWH’s eschatological salvation of His people as a great feast prepared by the Lord on the mountain of Zion (Is. 25:6). On the day of the feast–which implies table fellowship between man and man, and God and humanity–on the day

Job 7:17, “What is man, that you make so much of him, and that you set your heart on him, visit him every morning and test him every moment?” (c.f. Psalm 8:4) Job here associates his suffering—and, indeed, the sufferings of humanity—with the attention of the Lord. If mankind were not under the scrutiny
Ezekiel 37:27, “My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” In Ezekiel 1, we find an overwhelming vision of the cosmic Chariot-Throne of God. YHWH Himself rides on a throne of light above a firmament of crystal, supported on the wings of four
John 13:4, “He laid aside His outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.” When Jesus dresses Himself for service in the upper room, He is re-enacting the incarnation by revealing the same inclination of God’s heart that moved the Son to lay aside the outer garments of manifest glory and
John 1:14, “The Word became flesh” At the center of the Christian faith is the doctrine of the incarnation, which confesses that the Second Person of the Trinity has taken human nature to Himself, binding humanity to divinity “inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly and inseparably” in perfect union to the Person of God the Son. One
Luke 2:10-11, “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. For unto you is born…a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord.” God Himself became a fertilized egg in Mary’s body. He became a developing fetus. He became an infant in utero. And by inhabiting every stage of human development,

Luke 1:35, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.” The incarnation reveals the Trinity. Yes, when the Word takes on flesh, He does not only reveal the Father, but He reveals the
An Overview In Isaiah 6:1, Isaiah sees the Lord God “high and lifted up” in glory on His throne. Throughout Isaiah, the repeated theme is that YHWH alone is to be exalted, He alone is Savior–there is no other, and He shares His glory with none. But then, in Isaiah 52:13, that same phrase–“high and

There is no God like YHWH, and He declares that with definitive finality when He descends into the deepest trenches of our suffering through the cross of Christ. In the freedom of His sovereign love, our Lord and our God penetrates to the heart of hopelessness and bears the full horror of His Bride’s godforsakenness

Zechariah 2:10, “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares YHWH.” John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…”

Hebrews 10:1, 5, 7, “…the law has but a shadow of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities…Consequently, when Christ came into the world, He said, ‘…Behold, I have come to do your will, O God.’”
Luke 2:10-11, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
Hebrews 2:10, “…it was fitting that He, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.” The God-Man becomes Humanity’s perfect savior by sharing in and overcoming the fullness of humanity’s suffering–climactically so in His death on the cross.
Hebrews 1:8, 10, “But of the Son He says…”You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands.” May the glories of the night sky always remind us that the hands of the Star-Kindler were pierced because of our sins and because of His
Matthew 1:21, “…and you shall call His name Jesus [which means, “YHWH Saves”], for He will save His people from their sins.”
