“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
What a great privilege Joseph shared with Mary! This couple was chosen in the sovereign plan of the Lord to be very instrumental in the life of the child Jesus. Mary would give birth to the Christ child, and Joseph would be charged with His care. Though not his own biological child, Joseph was privileged to care for this baby, and He was to be named Jesus. From the moment of announcing His name, His mission was also announced. He would be the Savior, yes, the One Who would save His people from their sins. Friends, there is just no way around it. The Lord Jesus is truly the Reason for the Season. I hope that you will rejoice in Him and keep Him front and center of all your plans.
For today: Aren’t you glad that you belong to the Lord Jesus? Don’t you wish everyone did?
