“For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is
Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11, KJV).
For
unto us a child is born, but not just any child. He is a child born
to save the world. He is a child born to save you and me. He is a
child born to change our hearts. This child speaks hope where the
world speaks discouragement. This child gives joy where the world
offers despair. He imparts what the world can never impart–His
peace. For “all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty
for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise
instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great
oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory. (Isaiah 61:3, NLT).
Jesus
Christ came into the world to lay down his life for our sin. He was
not forced to give up His life, but He gave it freely for you and me.
Because of His willing sacrificial love for us, we can go into the
presence of an almighty God and find help in our times of need
(Hebrews 4:16). There is hope in the midst of discouragement and
despair. There is the promise of eternal life, joy, and peace. His
name is the name above all other names. He is the one who is your
answer.
This
Christmas ask Him into your heart, and experience God’s peace,
which exceeds anything you can understand. His peace will guard your
heart and mind as you live your life for Him (Philippians 4:7).
