The Story of Two Baby Boys

One is the Messiah, the Savior of the world, the other, was created and called by God from birth to do anything and everything in service to the Messiah. Preparing the way for Him to come, preaching His message, and living His life fully obedient to the Father. One born of God the Father, the other born to a human man, the priest Zechariah. Each one of us today are called to take after John. There is only one Savior of the World, everyone else’s rightful place is in complete surrender and service to Him.

Hope is not the only thing that came to the world when Jesus Christ was born. Along with hope, peace which surpasses all human understanding can be realized in the presence of Jesus Christ our Lord. Looking at one more message from the angels solidifies this fact, the baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger brings to the earth the dawn of peace with God among those with whom he is pleased. The connection between faith, hope, and peace becomes so obvious in Jesus’ birth. The world is looking at a mere baby, a newborn infant simply lying down, he is held by his mother Mary. At this point in Jesus’ life, the King of Kings is dependent upon Mary if he simply wants to get up out of the manger. Yet, all those who look into the child’s face and believe by faith with great hope, to them there is great peace. Investigate your life currently. Does it seem as if God is doing nothing? Does it seem as if He has abandoned you? Do you seem as helpless at this current place as a newborn baby is after he is born? It seems with God this is nothing close to a helpless situation. It seems even in these infant days of God’s plan for the one who has incredible hope and faith, with God, that one has everything right now for a very real but unexplainable peace. God bless you as you prepare for Christmas Day.

There is so much hope wrapped up in the story of Jesus’ birth. The story that has represented “The Christmas Story” for generations now. At every turn of the story one can find the radiance of God’s work for the salvation of sinful man. This work produces hope because we see, possibly for the first time, the fact that the dark realities of our lives are not the end, they do not have to continue to be the reality that defines us. In Jesus Christ we have offered to us what we could never deserve. In Jesus Christ we have the work accomplished for us, a work nobody other than Him has ever been able to accomplish. The first thing to note in this story is that this was the plan even before the conception. God was moving, God was planning, and God knew even before any child was ever conceived. Let this fact sink into our lives. Let this fact sink into our minds. The angles of God were sent to prove that God was moving and doing something amazing. They announced the births before conception. The reality of hope was alive and well before the baby existed in his mother’s womb. Likewise, before we were even conceived God was working, moving, and planning. Our God is the God of life and with life comes incredible purpose, and with this purpose comes hope. There is hope in our Lord and this hope exists before and apart from us, praise the name of our God we have all that we need in Jesus Christ our Lord.
