BAPTIST DEVOTIONAL

SEEK DAILY, NBC
Sunday, December 22
Luke 2:1-17

FOR ALL PEOPLE
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people." Luke 2:10, NIV

Have you noticed that every person that knew about the birth of Jesus was specially told? Joseph and Mary knew Jesus through angel Gabriel; Simeon, Anna, Elizabeth and Zechariah through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit; the wise men through the star that led them; the shepherds through angelic visitation; John the Baptist through the instructions and descriptions of God Almighty; the apostles knew Jesus by God's leading, He chose them and revealed Himself to them. This is the season of singing and fellowshipping in the spirit of Christmas.

Two lessons from today's passage are:

(a) We cannot claim to know Christ if He has not been revealed to us by God.

(b) The dying world is waiting for you and me to introduce Christ to them.

After the shepherds received the message, they spread it. Having received Christ let us go and make Him known today.

Prayer Point: Pray that Jesus Christ will be revealed to many people through you this Christmas season.
