There has never been a birth as meaningful and significant as the birth of Jesus Christ. In His infinite wisdom and perfect plan, God chose Nazareth under His divine decree as part of His eternal purpose. Although each person acted freely, everything unfolded precisely as He intended. When we look at the events of life, we must see them through the lens of God’s providence, understanding that His hand is in every detail. In His glorious majesty, God chose to humble Himself, to step down and dwell among us. He endured humiliation for our sake, setting aside the splendor of heaven to fulfill His promise to redeem us. The angel’s words, “Do not be afraid,” offer a profound sense of comfort and hope, a light that pierces through even the deepest darkness. The fulfillment of God’s promises should fill us with wonder, even as we realize these promises were foretold long ago. Salvation is no longer a distant hope or shadowed by prophecy—it is here, present with us in Jesus Christ. He is the long-expected Savior, and His coming changes everything. The light of Christ has entered the world, and the darkness cannot and will not overcome it.
