Reading: Luke 2, 3, 4
My Verse: "But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people." (2:10)
To humble shepherds attending to their job appears a host of heaven's angels with a special revealing of You, Lord Jesus! The shepherds "went with haste" to find this baby Jesus. "And when they saw it, they made known what had been told them concerning this Child." (2:17)
To a man, Simeon, "righteous and devout" "it had been divinely revealed to him by the Holy spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ." (2:26) When Simeon saw the baby Jesus he knew prophecy fulfilled. "For with my eyes I have seen Your Salvation!" (2:30)
To a devout eighty-four year old widow, Anna, You were revealed. She "returned thanks to God and talked of [Jesus] to all who were looking for the redemption of Israel." (2:38)
At first I wonder why these people? Why did they get this special revealing of You? Then I am impressed by their belief - for it seemed immediate, no doubts or questions. They simply marveled at what they were witnessing and believed!
Lord, so You reveal Yourself to us. I truly believe that each of us are given an opportunity to say "Yes!" to You. I thank You for revealing Yourself to me! I thank You for enabling me to believe. Thank You for the wonder of who You are and what You did!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, would not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
