“And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God,
and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward
men.” Luke 2:13-14.
What the heavenly host said at the birth of Jesus indicated
that His birth was a manifestation of the glory and the peace of God among men.
Jesus was conceived of a virgin without the involvement of the seed of man and
in the fulfilment of prophecy and the plan of God for the redemption of
mankind. He came as a seed of the woman to bruise the head of the serpent and
bring peace and deliverance to all men. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we must
worship, praise and thank God for this season, we must ask God for His peace to
prevail on the earth in which we live and we must share our love with others
and be a blessing to them.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor , The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
1 Timothy 3:15
More importantly, we must pray that the gospel be preached
in all part of the world, and get involved. We can only experience the true
reason behind His birth if many accept Him as Lord and Savior. May the peace brought by the Prince of peace
fill your heart, your family and your nation in Jesus name.
Merry Christmas
Prayer for today: Oh God as we
celebrate the birth of Jesus, let your glory and peace fill our lives in Jesus
name.
