Geppetto Believed

Woodcarver Geppetto fashioned a unique puppet; Pinocchio was made in the image of a little boy. Imagination is a powerful force; wooden Pinocchio became flesh. Geppetto believed.

God has all power; with him all things are possible. His purpose prevailed; the ‘Word’ (Jesus) became flesh.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:12-14 KJV).”

Believe. The Christmas story isn’t a fanatical fantasy. God has shone his light in a world of spiritual darkness and unbelief.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:1-5 KJV).”

Many today still live in darkness; they’re unable to believe (comprehend) the Father’s salvation plan. How could the holy Son of God become flesh?

Believe.

The holy babe of Bethlehem was not only wrapped in swaddling.

He was wrapped in God’s glory and the flesh of man.
