“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord”. (Luke 2:11) Those were the words of an angel messenger bringing a message of hope and joy to common folks like you and me. Life would take on new meaning. Their lives would experience great change, the birth of Jesus would transform their view of the landscape as they had known it. This was not just new hope for a coming year, for His work was an eternal work, one that would free us from the power of sin, chaos and futility. He is Savior, Christ the Lord.
There was an openness of the Shepherd's to receive the words of an angel and in haste, they set out to find the Christ Child. The Bible said that they found Mary, Joseph and Jesus, the one that the world needed so desperately. Heaven says to us today what heaven said to shepherds on the hillsides: “Unto you is born this day … a Savior, Christ the Lord”. The reference to “this day”, includes every day that will come, all 365 days of every year that you will see in your lifetime. Jesus came to work redemptively, not just today, but to work His purpose for your life every day of the year!
