My
friend, if all is silent and dark in your life now, and you feel like you have
been left out in the cold, just know that Jesus came to be your Savior at such
a time as this.
He was
not born in the comfort of a warm, cozy room, but in a cold manger. There was
no room for Him in the inn (see Luke 2:7), so that there will always be room at
the cross for your healing, deliverance, wholeness and provision, and a mansion
in heaven waiting for you!
Jesus
was born very quietly, so quietly that the Bible says that only a group of
shepherds came to Him, while the rest of Bethlehem slept (see Luke 2:8–9). Like
manna falling quietly from heaven in the Old Testament, the true bread from
heaven came quietly. It was a silent night, but that was not all.
Jesus
was also born during the darkest time in Israel’s history. Israel was under the
tyrannical rule of the Romans. It was during this time, when everything was so
dark, that Jesus was born. Beloved, He will come to you in the darkest period
of your life.
On that
cold and silent night, the shepherds were afraid when the angel of the Lord
stood before them. But the angel said, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring
you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to
you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the
Lord.”
Beloved,
it was not a judge or lawgiver who was born. It was a mighty Savior. He came to
save His people. He came to save you and me. So even if you are in a cold, dark
period of your life, don’t be afraid—the Savior has come and He will save you
to the uttermost! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries
