Two women were informed by our #God that our Savior was going to be born in the line of David. But He also informed a man, and even told him what name should be given to the Son of God in our flesh. In Matthew 1:21 we read that to Joseph it was said, And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.... This man, engaged to become the husband of #Mary, had first thought that she had sinned. He intended therefore to put her away. In verse 19 we read that he, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. To this Joseph was given the wonderful truth that we should take hold of, and hold on to with all our spiritual strength, namely, He shall save his people from their sins. By all means take hold of that truth on #ChristmasDay. That forgiveness of our sins is a most wonderful gift of Gods grace. Worldly gifts and presents do not even stand in the shade of that gift of Gods grace. Tomorrow we celebrate #Christs birth, and the chief attraction of that day is not what men or women give us, not what human brothers and sisters do for us, but what Christ, the Son of God in our flesh, did for us and is doing daily for us. Let us tomorrow sing Gods praises. Let us thank Him for what He took from us, and for what He gave us in its place. Let us before the world testify that Christ is the Savior. For that name Jesus means #Jehovah Saves. Let us tomorrow, and every day, rejoice that our guilt has been taken away, and that we are given righteousness and holiness as a free gift of Gods grace. Let us sing a new song to Jehovah for the wonders He has wrought.
