Not Just Another Baby

And now we come to the end of this extended devotional's about the birth of the most important person who was, who ever will be born.

The birth of the Savior, Himself.

God, how thankful I am that this child was born. I can not put into word's how this one child has motivated me to be a better person, to yearn to be live Him, and most of all, strive to be in a continuous stream of His presence where lives are changed.

I am beyond forever greatful for all the pervious players who played thier parts in bringing about this child in this world.

But their is no greater character than the babe, Himself, so let us make a committment to Him that in 2018 we will strive to know Him not just the babe in.the manger but the Man who can walk on water and heal blind, raise the dead, and is the soon coming King.

God Bless

Not Just Another Baby

Just another baby would not have been preceded by hundreds of prophecies about His birth, life, and, death. Just another baby would not have been conceived in the most miraculous way possible.

Just another baby would not have merited a birth announcement from the hosts of heaven.  Just another baby would not have inspired shepherds to leave behind their sheep to find Him. Just another baby would not have compelled wise men from the east to go on a quest to find Him. Just another baby would not have made Simeon’s lifelong wait worthwhile or brought praise to the lips of Anna.

Just another baby would not have become a man who gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, freedom to the possessed, life to the dead, and forgiveness to the guilty. Just another baby would not have become the Lamb of God who would willingly take away the sin of the world. No, He was not just another baby. He was, is, and always will be Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Activity: Read the nativity story in the Gospel of Luke (1:26-2:21).
