For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah). For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord – Luke 2: 11

Jesus should have come as the king He rightly was. Surely the Creator of the universe deserved to be born and live in the most beautiful, the biggest, and the best that this world had to offer. He should have made himself only available to the rich and famous of his time.

Instead He came to a manger, a place that was dirty and common. His clothing was not the fancy, decorated robes of royalty, but cloths. The first to receive the Good News of His birth were not the rich and famous. Instead it was the shepherds that the angels brought glad tidings; to the lowest station of occupation in that time for they were dirty and smelled bad.

The Good News today is that He is still making Himself available to all.

Today’s Prayer
Lord, thank you for being available to all. Help me let others know this Good News. Lead me to those hear need to hear about you in this Christmas season. Amen
