The Lord Saves

Advent: God With Us --- Luke 2:1-20 Merry Christmas! God has been made flesh and comes to a world who desperately needs him. As miraculous as the virgin birth is, the humble circumstances of Christ's coming speaks to the person of Jesus more than a grand arrival. The child is born amid sheep that are likely being raised for sacrifice. How beautiful is it that the perfect Sacrificial Lamb for the wages of our sin is born among the animals that embody that covenant? And that those who tend the lambs were the first to hear about his birth? The imagery is clear. Christ was born to save.
