“The angel answered (Mary, Jesus’ mother),
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the
power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be
called the Son of God...For nothing is impossible with
God.’” (Luke 1:35, 37)
This
is the season we celebrate Christmas — the birth of
Jesus Christ our Lord! Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came to this
earth to be born.
The
Bible describes how “God sent the angel Gabriel
to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married
to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary...The
angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favour with God. You
will be with child and give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the Name
Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High...His
kingdom will never end.”
Even
though Mary was a virgin and had never had relations with a man, God said she
would give birth to a Son Jesus — and He would be called the Son of God. This was a great miracle — God became a man
and lived among us.
How
great is the love of God for us! God could have just judged us — He could have
ignored us — but He did not. Instead, He came to earth to be born as a man and
give His life for our sins. It is a privilege to serve such a wonderful God.
Today,
let us join together and pray for
- The love of God to be poured out
on everyone.
- Jesus Christ would become known
as Saviour to all our families
Let
us pray that, at this time of year, the hearts of people all over the world
would turn to Jesus Christ the Saviour. He alone can save people from their
sins. He alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He alone will come again to rule the
whole earth. He alone is worthy of all praise
Jesus
love’s you.
