A Savior Is Born
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” - Luke 2:14
Christmas Day—after all the waiting, it’s finally here. For weeks, everything has led up to this day, filling it with meaning and joy. Today is the day we celebrate the best gift ever given, a gift that changed everything.
It’s the day that reminds us of God’s incredible love and the miracle of Jesus’ birth. While we might be surrounded by family, food, and presents, the heart of this day goes so much deeper. It’s a day to remember that Jesus was born for you, to bring you peace and new life.
Imagine that night long ago, when an angel appeared to shepherds on a quiet hillside, filling the night with glory they’d never seen before. The message was simple: “Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” That wasn’t just an announcement; it was an invitation. Those shepherds were invited to witness the most incredible moment in history. The Savior had come, not in splendor or wealth, but in humility, as a baby in a manger.
Jesus didn’t come to be distant from us, He came to be close. God could have chosen any way to rescue us, yet He chose to come as one of us, experiencing life’s struggles and pains. Jesus came to show us God’s heart up close. On Christmas, we don’t just celebrate His birth, we celebrate His purpose—to rescue, redeem, and restore us.
As you unwrap presents today, remember the ultimate gift that was unwrapped for you on that first Christmas. The gift of Jesus brings us peace that nothing else can offer, joy that isn’t dependent on circumstances, and hope that doesn’t fade. Because of Jesus, you can face tomorrow with confidence, knowing God is with you.
Let the wonder of that holy night fill your heart today. Like those shepherds, let your heart be drawn to worship, celebrating the birth of the One who loves you more deeply than you can imagine. Jesus is here, bringing peace to your life, calling you to experience the joy only He can give!
