ORDINARY NIGHT, EXTRAORDINARY NEWS

Luke 2:9-12

 

"And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.

 

And the angel said to them, 'Fear no, for behold I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

 

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

 

And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.'" ESV

 

The announcement of the Savior's birth by the Angel of the Lord was a most exquisite, majestic, and glorious appearance we cannot begin to duplicate in our minds. But this awesome phenomenon was displayed for a few lowly shepherds tending their sheep on a hillside, on what seemed to be an ordinary night.

 

Heavenly Father, coming to earth and becoming one of us in such a strange way just shows us that You are the God who has no plan to take the world by storm. But You came in a humble way to live among people and reveal the Truth so that hearts would be so moved the Truth would spread throughout the whole world. What a glorious God You are to have this way of assuring that thousands of years later, we would still be marveling and sharing the Truth. We praise You and pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

TO US

 

 

Luke 2:11

"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." NIV

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." KJV

Those many years ago, our Saviour was born, just as the prophets spoke and wrote down for us. The birth of Jesus, the Christ, brought to us joy, peace, and eternal life. And, He will reign and rule forever. Praise the Lord!

Heavenly Father, thank You for the greatest Gift of all, Your Son, Jesus Christ. And thank You for this Plan to bring us back into full relationship with You. We thank You for the joy, peace, and eternal life this brings to us. In His name we pray, Amen.

GOD BECAME MAN

Christ became human flesh and blood for the specific purpose of being
the sinless sacrifice for our sin, once for all. As God, He could not die.
With a body like ours, He died and took control of death from Satan. Now Satan cannot taunt us with fear about death and hell. Christ holds the key to death and the fear is gone because He has made death the passage to eternal life.

Read Hebrews 2:14

"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death-- that is, the devil." (NIV)

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil." (KJV)

GIVING ALL

It is such an amazing thing when we get hold of the fact that
the Son of God actually left His throne in Heaven and became a
human being. Even more amazing, He gave all He had, Himself,
because of His love, mercy, and grace that would show us the
Way to the One true God. When we take time to dwell on that, it
seems like such a small thing that we would turn our total selves
over to Him. But, that is all we have to give Him.

Read John 1:14

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have
seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the
Father, full of grace and truth." (NIV)

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father)
full of grace and truth." (KJV)

GOD WANTS YOU

Some people believe that God doesn't want them. They
believe they have been placed in a rejection bin because
God just doesn't want them, or they are too far gone for
God to accept. Those dear people can take heart! Repeatedly
God says in His word, 'Whosoever will,' 'whosoever believes,'
'anyone who opens the door to me' He will accept. God's
love, grace, and mercy extends to every soul who will trust
Him and take Him at His Word.

Read 1 Timothy 2:3,4

"This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all
men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth."
(NIV)

"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come
unto the knowledge of the truth." (KJV)
