“The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend.
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend”
…
These lyrics from my favorite Christmas carol (O Holy Night) have never meant more to me than Christmas 2018. In the season where the world puts their picture perfect moments into the world, I’m reminded that it’s in our weakness that we can best know our Savior. These words touched me to the core last night as we sang them in the Christmas Eve service: “Behold, your King, before Him lowly bend”. It’s our humility He desires- and as we Behold our King, we see Him stooping to meet us. This thought just makes me weep with worship, especially this year as I have been brought lower than I ever thought imaginable.
…
Whatever lies ahead, may we all see and savor our King- the Suffering Savior, the Christ child more fully in 2019.

Merry Christmas, love Team Turner
