Daily Evotional Were You Born in a Barn? Thursday, December 25th 2014 Luke 2:11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. NKJV Were you born in a barn? That question is usually asked to question not only someones family, but their upbringing, their heritage. Its a question of guilt, a painful question. But the question really leads us to, literally, The Greatest Story ever told--a story of the worlds one and only perfect leader who entered the world amidst power hungry political leaders, a corrupt government system and a religious group of people. Not just a king, but the King of kings, who left His throne with singing angels, who left Heaven, light, love and glory to be born in a manger, a barn. Our Savior, our King of Kings, Our Jesus, was born in a barn. If Jesus came to earth with nothing so that we could have everything, wouldnt it make sense to follow Him? If Jesus is truly God in the flesh, shouldnt we be willing to give our everything for Him? Jesus was not born in a manger so that we would have a reason to go to church a couple times a year. Jesus was born in a manger to show us that God is with us. This same Jesus would later die on the cross so that we could have eternal life. This same Jesus also calls us to deny ourselves and follow Him. He is not simply interested in changing our holiday routine; He desires to radically change our life. Are you ready? Life Lesson: Jesus came not to change your schedule or to change one day a year. He came to change your life. Dear God, Thank You for the gift of Jesus Christ. He came in poverty so that I could relate to Him. He lived a perfect life because I am not able to, and He died on the cross so that I could be forgiven. Help me to remember all these things this Christmas. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I can share the good news of Your coming with everyone I meet! In Jesus name, Amen. Living to tell what He died to say, Pastor David McGee Cross the Bridge
