The Savior's Humble Arrival is for Everyone 2/25
The Savior's Humble Arrival is for Everyone
The angel's announcement revealed the identity of the newborn: a Savior, Christ, and Lord. He is the one who rescues from sin, the promised Messiah, and the authority over all. Crucially, the message was "Unto you"…personal and inclusive, not just for the religious elite or the morally impressive, but for the outcasts, the anxious, the addicted, the ashamed, and the searching. The sign given was not a palace, but a manger… a feeding trough where cows slobber. This humble arrival signifies that Christianity is not about humanity climbing up to God, but God coming down to us, making Himself accessible to anyone.
Luke 2:11-12 (KJV): “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”
Reflection: Considering the angel's declaration, "Unto you is born… a Savior," what specific area of your life or heart feels most in need of His rescue and lordship right now?
