A
SAVIOR IS BORN
By
Elvin C. Myers
Scripture Reading: Luke
2: 11
The same day, probably
night, when Christ was born, it was immediately made known.
Shepherds who were tending their flocks in the fields near Bethlehem
were visited by an angel who announced Christ's birth. The angel was
then joined by the hosts of heaven who gave praise and glory to the
Lord. It does not say they sang.
When Christ was born, He
bore a long list of identities. He was the Son of God, the supposed
son of Joseph and Mary, the Heir to Israel's throne, the prophesied
Prophet and Priest Old Testament writers mentioned, the One Who
would redeem Israel and provide salvation for all who would believe
on Him. No one else in the universe among angels or men could fill
these roles.
Some people refuse to
observe Christmas. They say no one knows when Christ was born and
that it is a pagan celebration and totally materialistic. That may
be true, but one should not lose sight of the fact that it is not
the day that is observed by Christians but the purpose for the
incarnation. When Christ was born, He took upon Himself the form of
man and was made in the likeness of human flesh for the purpose of
becoming the Savior oflost sinners. He will save whosoever will
believe on Him for salvation. A Savior saves people. He does
not offer assistance and help people to be saved. He does everything
that is required to save people. He saves people by paying the wages
of sin for them by dying on the cross. With His precious shed blood
the sinner's sins are washed away forever. "But God commendeth
His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us. Much more then, being now Justified by His blood, we shall
be saved from wrath through Him" (Romans 5:8-9). Our Savior was
born; let us never cease to praise the Lord and give Him glory and
thanks.
