Today's Verse: Luke 2:11 (KJV)

Sunday, December 25, 2005

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
— Luke 2:11 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Look at all this verse tells us. Jesus is a descendant of David, the eternal king of promise. He is Savior of all peoples. He is Christ, the Messiah, the promised hope of Israel. He is Lord, ruler of all creation and master of our lives. The real question is whether we have decided that Jesus means all those things to us today. If he is not your Savior today, why not let him be? And if he is, then with whom do you need to share his grace?

My Prayer...

Father, I praise you for sending Jesus to me as my Lord and Savior. Help me as I seek to share your grace and his story with those I love. Please bless the following people with whom I want to share the story of Jesus... In the precious name of the Savior, I pray. Amen.
