Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. . . . . 13. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, . . . . . [14]. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The message of this birth is about a Saviour. He is the One Who would give His life for the sins of His people.
He is the One Who robed His deity in humanity and came into this world to die on the cross, Phil. 2:5-8.
He is the “Anointed One — the Messiah.” He is the One promised from the beginning, Gen. 3:15.
He is the One the Jews anticipated every time they offered a sacrifice and kept a feast.
This little baby was the One Who spoke the universe into existence, the One Who formed man out of the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. John 1:1-2,14.
He is the One Who controls the paths of the planets and the galaxies.
He is the Lord of all, yet, He lies in Bethlehem in the person of a helpless baby.
What grace! What love! What glory! To think that Almighty God would humble Himself to come into this world as a helpless child, so that we might be saved!
“Angels, from the realms of glory, — Wing your flight o'er all the earth; — Ye, who sang creation's story, — Now proclaim Messiah's birth: — Come and worship, — Come and worship — Worship Christ, the new-born King.”
James Montgomery
