Luke 2

Have you ever wondered why God would choose an old priest and his wife to give birth to John, the forerunner of Jesus the Christ? Why He chose a young girl to bare the Savior; "why this old couple to bare the one who would present and prepare the world for the Christ?"

Ah! Luke chapter 2 clearly states why. First, it was because of the Priest's Prayer (v.13). The desires of our hearts when in line with the will of God will come to fruition regardless of the seemingly impossible obstacles. Secondly, they were used because of God's plan (v.13-15). God's plan will always supersede the will of humanity as well as the wrath of hell. Lastly, they were chosen because of Israel's Peace (v.16-17). We must remember the whole of the nativity of Jesus Christ was about redeeming humanity and reconciling us back to God.

Therefore my Christian friends, during this Christmas season let us take to heart the saying of yesterday, Jesus is the reason for the season! Until the next time, may the blessings of God be upon you all.

The Prayer:
Father, we thank you for allowing us another season to celebrate the birth of our Savior. It’s in His name that we offer thanks. Amen.
