Christmas is coming

Only a few more days until Christmas. One of my favorite holidays of the year. It seems like every year I think about the Messianic prophecies at this time. This year, Genesis 3:15 has really jumped out at me.

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

This verse is so full of what was to come. The woman's seed - prophesied later that a virgin would bear a son. Enmity is surely there between Christianity and non-Christianity. The devil bruised Christ's heel in the crucifixion, but in the resurrection, Christ bruised his head!!! Victory over sin and death is ours. And this verse tells about all of it!
