Jesus the Messiah

Hallelujah! On the holiest of nights, a Savior was born. The echoing cry of a newborn baby announced the beginning of a new covenant with God. This special child would grow up to heal the sick, mend the brokenhearted, awaken the dead, wash away sins, and bring salvation to the earth. He walked among His people, broke bread with them, laughed, sang, and cried with them. He was a teacher, guide, worshipper, son, brother, and friend. His arrival into this world changed everything. The Lord’s humanity was love raining down on His beloved. 

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”

John 3:16-17

The prophecies of old foretold the specific details of this promise that was fulfilled with the birth of a Savior. Immanuel—God with us—Jesus, or Yehoshua—God is salvation—Christ—anointed one. His arrival was a beacon of hope in a broken world. As God opened the eyes of those who gazed upon the face of Christ, they recognized Him as the Son of God and fell to their knees in worship. Let us always do the same.
