A Savior is born
Luke 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Many people debate about when Jesus was actually born. The Bible does not tell us exactly, but we know He was born. Somewhere along the way, we decided that we would celebrate the birth of our Savior on the 25th day of the month of December.
I like that we celebrate the birth of our Savior at the end of the year. You see, many times we have ups and downs throughout the year. We find ourselves saying things like, "Wow, this year has just flown by and now it is ending." We think of the things we may not have accomplished that we thought we would. This is why I am glad we celebrate the birth of our Savior at the end of the year. It is a reminder that with Jesus we are just getting started. We celebrate His birth knowing that Jesus is the beginning of eternal life for those of us who believe. It is through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus that leads to our salvation.
So, even if we did not complete all the things we thought we would get done in 2024, the birth of Jesus reminds us that we have a True Hope in Him. We can rest in the assurance that Jesus loves us and that we must keep the main thing, the main thing.
I pray that this Christmas brings the Hope of Christ to the forefront of a year spent serving Him and knowing that our salvation is with Him and only Him. I give praise, honor, and glory to God for the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus the Son, who fills us with the Holy Sprit as we accept His Grace which is after all the greatest gift ever given.
Merry Christmas and blessings for a New Year!!
