The reading for Wednesday is Luke Chapter 2 .
Here is what I heard:
Our Savior was born to us
Scripture: Luke 2:11
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
Observation:
It all comes down to this: Our Savior was born. He came for us.
Application:
God could have left the writing it at that– Jesus was born.
He didn’t have to give us all the detail and all of the prophecy.
He created us to be thinkers, though, and wants to appeal to our minds as well as to our hearts. Perhaps that is why He shares so many beautiful details. He prefaces Jesus’ birth on the earth with prophecy so that there will be no mistake and Jesus identity will be clear to those who investigate and listen.
The simple truth, though, is that our Savior was born unto us.
Prayer:
Thank you, Lord, for sending your son to us.
And thank you for sharing so much about Him before He was even born so that we would know without a doubt who He is.
Thank you for giving us the Bible so we can read and learn and experience you in so many ways.
Thank you, also, for the simple yet huge fact of Luke 2:11: A Savior was born to us.
Thank you, Father.
