Luke 2:11 and John 1:14Â
"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." (Luke 2:11)Â
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)Â
ReflectionÂ
Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the joyful theme of Christ's birth today, let's take a moment to reflect on two profound scriptures that beautifully capture the significance of this special day. In Luke 2:11, we're reminded that Jesus is our Savior and Messiah—the long-awaited promise fulfilled, heralded by angels and bringing hope to a world in need. This moment marks the beginning of a remarkable journey of love and redemption.Â
In John 1:14, we learn that Jesus is not just any man but the Word made flesh, dwelling among us and revealing God's glory in a way we can understand. This scripture invites us to ponder the incredible mystery of the divine becoming human, offering us a personal relationship with God.Â
As we gather to celebrate with family and friends, sharing meals and exchanging gifts, let's remember the true reason for this season—the birth of our Savior, who brings light into our lives and teaches us the importance of love, compassion, and hope. This Christmas, may we embrace the spirit of giving and put our "grace into action" as we reflect on the incredible gift we have in Jesus.Â
ActionÂ
Take some time today to meditate on Luke 2:11 and John 1:14, and thank God for the gift of Jesus. Share this message with those around you, reminding them of the true meaning of Christmas. As you celebrate with loved ones, take a moment to pray together and express gratitude for each other's presence in your lives. Consider ways you can continue spreading love and joy beyond the holiday season.Â
