Luke 2:7-14
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
KJV
For Joseph and Mary this part of the journey was over but for the one who was born that night in Bethlehem it was far from over. His journey took Him from heaven and it would end at the cross. It was a savior that was given that night, Christ the Lord. But coming into this world did not save anyone, living a perfect life would not save anyone, keeping the Law would not save anyone, that little baby would have to one day die shedding His precious blood for the sin of all men. What a journey it was, beginning with that promise in Genesis 3:15 and ending with those words “It is finished” on the cross. Salvation was then made sure by His resurrection from the grave and ascension back into heaven where Jesus Christ sits today at the right hand of the Father. Thank Him today and tomorrow for the journey that was completed.
