Today a Savior was Born!

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:11

Merry Christmas! O, precious friend, what a great day it is! Today we celebrate the greatest gift ever given – God’s Son born in the city of David. He was the Christ, the Messiah. The angels announced to the shepherds that a Savior was born to them and for us, too. The greatest King was born in the humblest of settings. This day changed the entire world forever. This baby was like no other. This baby was God’s Son, Immanuel, God with us.

The question each of us must answer is will we receive this gift?  Will we believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah that God gave because He loved the world so much.  What will you do with this gift?  Will you believe in Him and have everlasting life?  Will you worship Him like the angels in complete adoration?  Will you partake in the joy that He brings?  Will you believe in Him and give Him every bit of yourself that you can give back to Him?  Will you give Him your all?  My friend, these are the questions that I am pondering after focusing on my Savior’s birth day by day for these past few weeks.

Thank you so much for your support of Christ Compels Ministry. From Shauna, Kendra, Melody, Peggy, our guest devotion writers, Shirley Seivers and myself, please know how much we love you and value you. Besides Jesus, you are my favorite gift this year. Thank you for your faithfulness to read these devotions and feed your soul on the Word of God.

As we enjoy our day with our loved ones and opening up presents, let’s keep Jesus the center of all that we do. May our words honor Him and please Him. O Come, Let us Adore HIM, Christ the LORD!

Pray with me: Father God, we worship You! We just come to adore You. Thank You for preparing our hearts for this Christmas season. Thank You for sending Your Son to save Your people from our sins. It’s in Your precious Son’s Name, Yeshua’s Name, we pray. Amen.
