                                                                 Baby

Day 25 Luke 2:8-20
“This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:12

In Genesis God promises He will destroy Satan and his works through the woman’s seed (Genesis 3:15). The seed is Jesus Christ. Therefore, Jesus had to experience complete humanity beginning as an embryo in Mary’s womb.   When Elizabeth heard Mary’s voice,  the baby (John the Baptist) in her womb acknowledged the presence of the Lord by physically leaping.
Today, thru the act of abortion, Satan tries to destroy humanity by convincing unbelieving pregnant women  that what is developing within her womb is of little or of no significance.
Yet, God chose for Jesus, His Son to develop from the divine seed of God’s implantation. Therefore, the small beginning which God chooses to bring forth, culminates in becoming
His greatest glory – ” Immanuel”.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you that you have chosen the smaller things in this world to display your glory. The gospel seed is simple, direct,  yet contains the power to save our souls; penetrating our heart, being nourished on the Word, resulting in faith that reaches heaven’s eternal gates. (Philippians 1:6)

“Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” John 3:3

Key Word: baby – Strong’s 1025: Infant, babe, child in arms. Of uncertain affinity; an infant literally or figuratively.
Strong’s Greek 1025 (βρέφος, brephos) denotes a human offspring at the earliest stages of life. The term embraces both prenatal life (an unborn child) and postnatal life (a newborn or very young infant). Its elasticity allows Scripture to speak of life in the womb and life in the cradle without lexical distinction, underscoring one continuous human reality. (biblehub.com)

Twenty Five Days of Christmas – Luke 1:54

                                                                 Descendants

Day 24 Luke 1: 46-55
“He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.”
Luke 1:54-55

Mary recognized God’s faithfulness to keep His Promise to Abraham and His descendants. These are his offspring, born again by faith through the seed of the gospel.  Mary believed the message of salvation and received the seed of faith which brought about the birth of God’s Son. Now all who believe in the gospel message of Jesus Christ become born again, and nothing can corrupt that seed once it produces the fruit of faith.

“In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1: 13-14

Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, you have kept your promises and covenant and preserved a remnant from Israel who receive your seed of Faith. Thank you for your faithfulness to sow into all lives the gospel message, imperishable, divine seed that brings regeneration to those who believe.

Key Word: Descendants – Strong’s 4690: From speiro; something sown, i.e. Seed; by implication, offspring; specially, a remnant.

“Paul can still call himself part of “the seed of Abraham” (2 Corinthians 11:22) and affirms in Romans 11:1 that God has not rejected “the seed of Abraham” despite widespread unbelief. Isaiah’s remnant theology is cited: “If the Lord of Hosts had not left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom” (Romans 9:29). Hence ethnic Israel retains covenant significance while salvation remains by grace through faith.

Twenty Five Days of Christmas – Luke 1:31

                                                                 The Name of Jesus

Day 23 Luke 1: 26-33
“You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” Luke 1:31

There is no other name by which one can be saved.  The name means
“the Lord is salvation.” Anyone calling on the name of Jesus, knowing who He is, will receive His help in time of trouble and eternal life through faith by His Grace.

“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3

The Saving Name

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Baptism is administered “in the name of Jesus Christ” (Acts 2:38), demons flee at His name (Acts 16:18), and healing is granted “by faith in His name” (Acts 3:16).

Dear Heavenly Father,
How precious is the name of your only begotten Son. When I think on His Name I am reminded of all He did to secure my life here on earth and throughout eternity. Thank you for sending your Son to die on the cross for the punishment of my sins.
I am THANKFUL for His salvation now and every day.

Key Word: Jesus. Of Hebrew origin (Yhowshuwa’); Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites — Jesus. see HEBREW Yhowshuwa’  
Often linked with “Christ” (Matthew 1:17), “Lord” (Acts 2:36), “Son of God” (Mark 1:1), “Son of Man” (Matthew 24:30), “Savior” (Titus 1:4), “High Priest” (Hebrews 4:14), and “Word of God” (Revelation 19:13). Each title underscores a facet of His identity and mission. (Biblehub.com)

Cross References: Matthew 1:21, Acts 4:11-12, Acts 2:21
