DAY 17 — A Savior Is Born
Scripture:
“For unto you is born this day…a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” — Luke 2:11 (KJV)
Christmas is a deeply personal celebration—unto you a Savior is born. Christ came into the world not solely for the masses but specifically for you, for your sins, your struggles, and your redemption. This intimate aspect of His coming emphasizes the personal nature of salvation and the love God has for each individual. His birth signifies the beginning of a divine rescue mission tailored to meet our deepest needs.
The Savior born in Bethlehem grew to fulfill His purpose as the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. His birth was not just a historical event; it pointed to His mission of salvation and the ultimate sacrifice He would make on our behalf. Understanding this purpose enriches our celebration of Christmas and invites us to reflect on the significance of His life and death. The promise of salvation extends to each of us, ensuring that His coming was for our benefit and transformation.
