DAILY?READINGS: Nehemiah 9; Zechariah 5-6; Revelation 14

 

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

 

Four hundred years before the angel spoke these words to the shepherds, the last book of Israel’s history was written. It had been a sad, depressing story of sin. But now a Saviour was born. What a hope for mankind! Yet as we read through the Gospels we see that God in the person of Christ was rejected again. They crucified Him. But in that place of seeming hopelessness we know that Christ Jesus died to “save sinners.” Now we have a sure and glorious hope. Heaven awaits for those who accept the salvation He offers. Will you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour? —M. Robins

Wonderful, wonderful Jesus, He is my friend, true to the end,
He gave Himself to redeem me, Jesus, wonderful Lord. —Paul White
