A new Royal Baby is born...

The news is covering the mass of people standing in the streets and celebrating the birth of the new son of Kate and William!  What a glorious thing, not just to have a new son, but knowing he is a real Prince, a future King!  I know the kingdom is excited, much less the proud parents. 

But, wait...this is not the first royal baby to be born.  Let us compare a few things here....
Future King of England.........no name yet, born in a private wing of a hospital with guards surrounding them, not only the country celebrates, but the whole world sending best regards. Future earthly royal life.
Son of God.........named Jesus before birth, born in a manger inside a barn, guarded by only the animals, the shepherds and heavenly hosts celebrated...earthly future is death on a cross.  (Luke 2:1-7)

But, let us compare a bit more...Jesus is the son of God, who still reigns from on high and will reign for all eternity.  The King of England is for a short time, if ever, that he is King.  Jesus, came to set me free from eternal condemnation.  The King of England does nothing for me or the people living in England.

I guess I am disappointed that people don't see the relevance of who the important person is here.  We should not put anyone or anything before our God.  The true King of Kings is still alive and well and is to be praised and honored.

True, babies are cute and yes, I am happy for the young couple having a son.  I remember holding a newborn son, there is nothing more precious.  But to see the hoopla on the news, just made me mindful of the birth of Christ.  There was no hoopla for Him then, but one day the skies will open up and what a news story that will be!!
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. (1 Thessalonians 4:16 NASB)
Are you ready to see Him? Is your relationship with the true King as close as it could be?  Celebrate your birth and life in Him, show Him you care enough to serve Him.  Love Him, Praise Him, allow Him to be Lord of your life......you will be blessed by the King!
