The Giverâ€™s Delight

Bible in a Year: Micah 4-5, Revelation 12

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Luke 2:11

Today's Scripture & Insight: Luke 2:4-14

Remember Tickle Me Elmo? Cabbage Patch Kids? The Furby? What do they have in common? Each rank among the twenty most popular Christmas gifts of all time. Also included on the list are familiar favorites such as Monopoly, the Nintendo Game Boy, and Wii.

We all delight in giving gifts at Christmas, but that's nothing compared to God's delight in giving the first Christmas gift. This gift came in the form of a baby, born in a Bethlehem manger (Luke 2:7).

Despite His humble birth, the Child's arrival was proclaimed by an angel who declared, "I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord" (vv. 10-11). Following this magnificent news, a "heavenly host" appeared, "praising God and saying, â€˜Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests'" (vv. 13-14).

This Christmas, enjoy giving gifts to your loved ones, but never lose sight of the reason for the givingâ€”the spectacular favor of God on His creation crystallized in the gift of His own Son to save us from our sin. We give because He gave. May we worship Him in gratitude!

BE STRONG

You don't charge someone to be strong if there is no task to be performed or if pressure is not required, either for motion or putting up resistance against an opposing force. In the physical realm, mere movement requires strength. This explains why a sick person or a person just recovering from an ailment finds it...More

Acts 5:4-5

God often proves to be other than people think. Here, for example, death struck a man suddenly for lying before God. Is God therefore severe, when he makes use of His power unreservedly towards the weak?
Let us first briefly examine what preceded this judgment. Holy zeal for the...More
