“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11 (NIV)
On the very night that Jesus, the Son of God was born, an angel was sent by the Father to announce the event to shepherds in the fields near Bethlehem. God chose the shepherds to be the first, other than Mary and Joseph, to know that a promise had been fulfilled. He said “a Savior has been born to you.” The shepherds needed a Savior and they could personally benefit from His birth. Believing the words of the angels, the shepherds went to find the newborn baby. After seeing and marveling at the event, they returned glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, exactly as it was told them. Jesus was born for you and He was born for me, to be our Savior. Each of us needs a Savior and He came for those in need. What a great difference this has made in our lives. The promise of His coming was made as far back as the day Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Let us listen to the angel’s message – “He is Christ the Lord.”
