Scripture

The grace of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all people.

Observation

The grace of God has been revealed through the cross, bringing salvation to all who will receive it. Therefore, those who are being saved must turn from godless living. We live in this sinful world, but we should do so with God’s wisdom and righteousness.

We look forward to the day when the glory of Jesus Christ is revealed. He gave his life to free us from sin and make us His own people.

Application

The coming of Jesus into the world, celebrated at Christmas, reveals the grace of God.

We were once far off from God. We were the people living in the great darkness of sin. Then Jesus came. He was born, He lived, and He died to pay the price for our sin. Then, He rose from the dead, demonstrating that God’s grace is greater than sin and death.

This revelation of grace is why Christmas is such a big deal. God has become flesh. He has become like us, to show us the way to the Father.

Christmas is a revelation of grace. This is so exciting! Who would have thought that a manger in little village would become the location for this revelation?

Now, it is my heart, your heart, that becomes the location for the revelation. Jesus Christ is born again in our hearts when we yield ourselves to His Lordship.

Prayer

Thank you, Lord Jesus for this revelation of grace. My good deeds would never save me, but you did. Amen
