Steps of Faith~ Christmas Eve

Is. 62:6-12
Ps. 97
Titus 3:4-7
Luke 2 (1-7) 8-20

Is. 62:6-12: These verses speaks of the prophecy of God restoring glory to the Jews in the Holy Land and the nations seeing and praising God.

Ps. 97: All nations will see God pour blessings on His people and land and praise God.

Titus 3:4-7: We can be saved because of what Jesus did on the cross.

Luke 2:(1-7) 8-20: Jesus the son of David was born in the city of David (Bethlehem); God's angels delivers the message of Jesus' birth to the shepherds. I find this interesting for in the message it speaks of peace on earth because of Jesus who is the Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9:5. It is believed that the shepherds that were told of Jesus' birth were the shepherds who tented the sheep that were sold in the temple for sacrifices. If this is so, God told them about "the lamb who would take away the sins of the earth" (John 1:29).

All the blessings that come to God's people all over the world is because of God's son, Jesus. He is the first and greatest Christmas gift.Why? Because he was born to die for our sins, so that we can know peace for he is the Prince of Peace, and without him, we can know no peace.

Challenge of the day:
Today, let us ponder on the great gift God gave us when he gave us Jesus. Let us think about the fact that we can have peace, because of what Jesus did for us. Then let us thank God for this great gift.

Today's accomplishment:
Write your thoughts on Jesus as your gift and a prayer thanking God for this great gift.
