Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus The Lamb Of Sacrifice Helps Me Enjoy My Destiny!
”For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” Luke 2:11-12 NKJV
Merry Christmas to you all!
The angel announced the fulfilment of the much awaited coming of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ! HE IS INDEED BORN !
But then the angel also spoke to the shepherds saying that the Babe will be wrapped in swaddling cloths lying in a manger that serves as a sign.
A sign is an indication that points to the final purpose. For example a sign post is the one directing to the final destination.
Jesus was wrapped in clean, linen swaddling cloths in the same way the newborn lambs destined to be sacrificed in the Holy Temple were wrapped at birth. They were wrapped in strips of cloths. The swaddling cloths were intended to keep the lambs protected, unblemished, and unharmed.
So then, the announcement of the angel concerning this Babe is that, He is the Lamb of God who takes the sin of the world upon Himself – the sacrificial Lamb.
God sent His Son wrapped in swaddling cloths in a manger as a sign pointing to the end purpose of God that He will be sacrificed on my behalf to make me the son & the daughter of God. Hallelujah!
Understanding this sign given on the First Christmas makes us to have a meaningful Christmas & enjoy the purpose of God thereof today.
THIS IS TRUE CHRISTMAS !
Praise Jesus !
