Ps. 96:Song that encourages for God's people to sing praises to God for being our Creator & Judge, so that the world will hear.
Titus 2:11-14:The grace of God sent Jesus to come and teach us to live righteously. He also gave us salvation.
Luke 2:1-14,(15-20): Jesus is born & the angels goes and tells the shepherds.They go to see and worship him. then went out and told others what they had seen.Many wondered if it was true.
While God's people was in slavery, Isaiah prophesied to God's people of a day when a messiah would come and save them (Is.9:2-7). We see the fulfillment of that prophecy in Luke 2:1-14(15-20). I find it interesting that God sent the angels to shepherds outside of Bethlehem to come and see Jesus. when he was born. I had read that some believe that they were the shepherds that raised the sheep for sacrifices in the temple. This makes since to me as Jesus would become our final sacrifice for our sins. In Titus we read of how we as followers of Jesus should live & tell others of Jesus' sacrifice for the worlds sins (Titus 2:11-14). We should stop and sing the song that is in Psalms 96 to the world.
Challenge of the day:
Today, take the time to sing songs of praise and joy to God for coming to earth to save us. Also use this day to share the good news of why Jesus came to earth. this is the perfect time to share that.
Accomplishment of the day:
How did this challenge get you ready for Christmas day? Were you able to help someone else get spiritually ready for Christmas? How?
