I knew it was time. I knew there was no other way. Tearfully I embraced My Son and held him close for a long time. Then silently I let Him go—down, down, down to the earth where man had rebelled. His place at My side was vacant. The mystery of all ages was happening. My Son became the seed of David in the womb of Mary. For 9 months I watched Him grow. The miracle of love lay wrapped in umbilical fluid, quietly maturing. All My love was poured out upon the Earth in that tiny, human, unborn boy.
Who would accept Him? Who would appreciate My Gift? Who would receive this baby as the Savior? I watched to see, knowing few would even recognize Him as the Promised One. My Son’s life on Earth is history now, recorded in heaven for people of all ages to see and read. From an infant in Bethlehem to a Teacher in Galilee Jesus lived with one purpose, to bless others. My Son loved as none other—unselfishly, unconditionally, totally. Yet, so many spurned His love, rejected Him, and wanted Him dead.
For 34 years I missed having My Son with Me in heaven. We’d always done things together—designing, creating, and enjoying the works of our hands. We shared an understanding and companionship uniquely our own. He had been by My side from eternity; but for a time His place on the throne was empty. You think time drags while you await His return to earth the second time; well, it even seemed long for Me while He was there the first time.
But, I loved you so much that I willingly let My precious, only Son leave heaven to become a man, not just for 34 years, but forever. Jesus gave up more than I can explain or you can comprehend because He also loves you. Forever He will have your nature. Forever He will carry the scars of love in His hands, feet, and side. Forever He will be with you.
One day soon it will be time. Jesus is the way. All of you who embrace His life as your own will have a place at His house. He will come to get you. Down, down, down to the earth, but how different will be His decent. All the beings of heaven will accompany Him. Crowned as The King my Son will come in majestic splendor. I will send Him with all My love, My Beloved Son.
