“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11 (NIV)
We come back to this important announcement in the Gospel of Luke. We've considered it once before, several days ago. We do this to think again of the reason for His coming to earth. The glitz and glamour that surrounds this time of the year as well as the many activities and commercial appeal can too easily cause us to lose focus on why the season is important to all. The words the angel announced to the shepherds were important for them and they are important for us. The shepherds response showed that they realized they needed a Savior. The went immediately to find the baby. They spread the news of what the angel had said, and the also praised God when they returned from seeing the baby. Jesus came as a baby because we all needed a Savior. As we have believed in Him He has saved us from the consequences of sin, the sin of rejecting God. What a big difference that has made in our lives. He has brought us to Himself by coming and becoming a human as we are. He was born to us for this purpose. We are His today if we have believed this Promise that He is the Messiah, the Lord.
