Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:11
Today marks a time in history in which the very essence of our being would be designed and modeled. The word today emphasized the importance of the words to follow; all the struggles that you endured due to sin, all the wrongs steps that you took or have taken, all the oppression felt under the hand of the enemy ends today as a Savior was born in the town of David… As we examined on yesterday, Christ was the greatest gift ever given and we know this to be true because His life paved the way for ours to be saved… Christ was not just a mere man who descended to the earth; He was born to you… He came to this earth for you, He took the form of man for you, and He would endure the demise and ridicule of the cross for you and eventually lay down His life for you… All this started by His arrival in the physical form to this earth… He indeed is the Messiah who came to take away the sins of the world… Remember today the reason for this season… We give because He gave, we love because He loved and we offer our best because He gave His best… There was no other objective for the arrival of Christ but to claim His father’s creation and restore the relationship severed by the original sin which occurred in the Garden of Eden… Yes Christ on this day was born to you… His birth has given you new life, His birth has given you a second chance, His birth has wiped the slate clean, and His birth has provided the very outline as to how we should seek to live our days upon this earth… There was a purpose to everything which Christ did while on this earth; today choose to live with purpose and to live on purpose… Allow love to be the foundation of every aspect of your life as this provides the best evidence of who Christ is and what He has done for you on this day… Today’s focus verse provides a powerful message which we should see clearly on this day and carry with us through the rest of our lives… The message is that Christ is all that matters; there are some who may not receive a gift today let alone be able to provide a material gift to others; however, we must remember that this is the very reason of Jesus arrival… He wanted us to look beyond the material and see the things which we really stand in need of… No amount on a gift card can buy you a place in the kingdom… No today that the world received a gift that was given with nothing expected materialistically in return; so if you don’t have money to buy a gift there is no reason to fret or become upset, your tears of sadness based on the physical should soon turn to tears of joy as you know that today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord…
ALL FOR HIM!
