12-21-10 MI DAILY DEVOTION (Luke 2:6- 7)
JESUS IS UNIQUE…
“And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7- And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.”
Jesus is unique because He was a King but was born in a manger. He created the world but he did not own a home when he was here on earth. (Luke 9: 58) “And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.”
He was rich but He became poor. He owns the cattle of the thousand hills, but he was buried in a borrowed tomb.
(Psalms 50: 10) “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.” He is the King of kings and Lord of lords but He was the Servant of men. (Philippians 2: 5- 7) “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”
He came down and humbled Himself to Love, but he was hated even of His own. But one thing for sure… and this will never change… “His name is JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Matthew 1: 21) “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (II Corinthians 5:21) “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
He can be yours today, just ask Him (Jesus) to come into your heart. And make this CHRISTmas a meaningful and memorable one. (John 1:10- 12) 10- “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11- He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12- But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
