But the angels announced the Saviour's birth to a group of peasants, not the rich and famous. They were not a grand audience to receive the King of all nations, “Yahshua the Messiah.” Nevertheless, His birth was announced to the lowly.
It's fitting that Christ's birth was announced to a lowly group of people. For the Messiah's coming was to bring God's love to the loveless, hope to the hopeless and help to the helpless like us and to fulfil the dreams of the lowly, meek, and humble. Another purpose of Christ's coming was to restore people like us to a relationship with God. So, the shepherds were just the right kind of people to hear this news.
This world desperately needs God. We desperately need God. But no matter how hard we try, we cannot get to God on merit. The good news of this season is that God has come to us. Hallelujah! The good news of the nativity is that in Yahweh, the hopes of the world are fulfilled. Let's make this good news the focus of our New Year celebration!
Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. (Luke 2:11).
Let's Pray
Yahshua, with the angels, I give you glory and praise. With the shepherds, I thank you that by your grace you have come to the lowly and alone like me and all my family and friends. Help me to never loose sight of this truth as I reflect on the birth of Jesus. In His name I pray, Amen.
