The Savior is Born - Merry Christmas!
The Savior is Born – Merry Christmas!
Christmas is not for all – Shocking?
A savior only comes to save. Save from what?
Christ the Messiah came to save us from the wrath and judgment of God. Only God can save us from Himself. The miracle of Christmas is that I recognize by the mercy and grace (favor) of God that I am a sinner needing a Savior.
Shocking! Christ did not come for all but only for sinners. 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 11:14. It is goodwill to people that are favored by God to know that they are sinners (the poor in spirit).
Have you been favored to know that you are a sinner needing a Savior? “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him…” —John 6:44. Then Merry Christmas to you otherwise there is nothing merry about Christmas. Christ came to seek and to save the lost. He came for sinners and not for the self-righteous. Let’s give God all our self-righteousness and take His Righteousness.
There is no Savior apart from the Christ crucified on the Cross who takes away the sin of the whole; but also the Christ who has risen and reigns as King forever. We must bow and surrender to the King of Kings. The best wish for people at Christmas is that they will recognize their sins and see their need for a savior. Let this be our prayer for all people.
Let us rejoice greatly for "It is finished" and “complete”. Christ is no longer a baby lying in a manger.
Joy to you a favored sinner who now knows and has relationship with the Savior and God of the whole universe.
Let's enjoy Christ forever.
Merry Christmas to you and your Family! You are Highly Favored!
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
