Luke 2:10–11 - But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for see — I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Lord.
If all is silent and dark in your life now, and you feel like you have been left out in the cold, just know that Jesus came to be your Saviour at such a time as this. Because, "to you He is born" ... That's very personal!
He was not born in the comfort of a warm, cosy room, but in a cold manger. Jesus was born very quietly, so quietly that the Bible says that only a group of shepherds came to Him, while the rest of Bethlehem slept. (Luke 2:6–9). Like manna falling quietly from heaven in the Old Testament, the true bread from heaven came quietly. It was a silent night, but that was not all.
Jesus was also born during the darkest time in Israel’s history. Israel was under the tyrannical rule of the Romans. It was during this time, when everything was so dark, that Jesus was born. Yes, He will come to you even in the darkest period of your life.
On that cold and silent night, the shepherds were afraid when the angel of the Lord stood before them and announced the glad tidings of great joy. But He was not a judge or law-giver who was born. He was a mighty Saviour. He came to save His people.
Thought for the day!
He came to save you and me personally. So even if you are in a cold, dark period of your life, don’t be afraid—the Saviour has come and He will save you!
