Psalm 85 It’s Christmas In July!

A Mighty & Merry Christmas to you Family!

No. Your Dad hasn’t completely lost it. I’m well aware that Christmas is December 25th. Nevertheless, Christmas is EVERY DAY for the Christian.

Psalm 85 points to what’s known as the “Incarnation.” This is a big, churchy word from the Early Church, and it’s Latin. The prefix “in” means “to put on.” “Carna” means “flesh.” Squish them together and Incarnation means “to put on flesh.” And this is precisely what God did for the world as He enfleshed Himself in the person of Jesus, the Christ child born in Bethlehem’s manger.

God brings together two realms in the Christ child. He brings together the heavenly divine realm from above, and the earthly realm from below in the Babe born in Bethlehem. Psalm 85 points forward to this Blessed Gift from God.
