Leader Devo
When our son was born, we couldn’t wait to share the news, to send out the first pictures, to let friends and family know his name. His birth was important to us. A new life had arrived, and our world was changed.
Read Luke 2:1–20. When Jesus was born, God didn’t wait long to let people know. He sent a host of angels to a group of shepherds. The Savior had come. The Messiah. The Lord. A real flesh and blood person who could know people and be known by them. Immanuel. God with us.
“Let’s go to Bethlehem. Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about” (Luke 2:15). That’s how the shepherds responded. How will you respond?
God invites people to meet Jesus—to know Him and be known by Him. Jesus isn’t hiding from us. He isn’t distant. He’s available. He has time for us. How will you meet Him this week? Through prayer? Through His Word? Through worship and participation in the life of the church?
Jesus has come, and the world is changed. He isn’t far off. God invites you to meet Him, day by day, and to know the depths of His love and power.
