The Baby in the manger came to earth to give us salvation. He gave all He had to give. When we receive Jesus as our personal Savior, we are given three Heavenly helpers that make the difference between us knowing where we’re going or wandering aimlessly around.
1. He gave us a new heart, a heart that’s hungry for Him.
2. He gave us the Holy Spirit just as He promised His disciples shortly before His arrest.
John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
No more are we left to the devices of the flesh and of the devil. The Spirit knows the mind of the Father and guides us in ways that pleases the Lord.
3. He gave us the Word of God to teach us His ways and will.
I’m glad Jesus came to earth. We celebrate the Birth of Christ because He is our Redeemer, our Shepherd, our Lord and our Master. What a difference He made in my life.
