Daily Devotion RESTORING FOCUS THURSDAY, JANUARY 1 LUKE 2:8-20 AGAIN The Savior has come for the humble of this world, those who know they haven’t got a prayer. While Matthew traces Jesus’ genealogy to Abraham, the father of the Jews, Luke traces it all the way to Adam, the father of all humanity (chapter 3). The Messiah is not just for the Jews; he has come for ALL people, and he has cosmic implications. It isn’t the righteous and religious who “get it.” It is those on the outside who respond with faith: a peasant girl, shepherds, Roman centurions, lepers. Jesus is found by and found in “the least of these.” Remember that Jesus is descended from David, who was also a shepherd. Jesus will shepherd his people. Are there people you think are outside of God’s plans? Is anyone outside of God’s plans? Does God have boundaries? Ask God to lead you to “the least of these” today. | PRINCE OF PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH | BURNSVILLE, MN
