God in His incomparable love has made a way for us through the wilderness. He did this by giving us His Son, our Light in the darkness. In Born to You … a Savior, we embrace the Christmas joy and wonder of Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
At Christ’s birth, God the Father did a new and everlasting thing in our lives: He gave us His one and only Son for our redemption. In divine humility, Jesus joined us as a human being. Born of a woman, bearing the sins of the world, Jesus comes to us as our Protector, our Deliverer, our Savior.
The Christ-Child in a manger is a familiar site at Christmas. But the meaning of this quaint scene often gets lost in the flurry of the holiday. God has come to us—to you and me—as a human, with the divine purpose of rescuing us from our sins. In Born to You … a Savior, we treasure the Father’s beloved Gift of love to each of us.

TEXT: [Zechariah said:] “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare His ways, to give knowledge of salvation to His people in the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” (Luke 1:76-79)
I love that image of the sunrise giving us light so that we can find the way of peace and walk in it. But surely that’s going a bit far? I mean, there’s no need for the sunrise to actually leave heaven and come down to earth to help us find our way.
It can sit up there in the sky far away and shed its light on us. That would be good enough, right? Apparently God doesn’t think so. Because this sunrise is Jesus Himself. And He’s not happy to stay in heaven far away from us and give us salvation from a distance. No, He’s going to come down from heaven, down to the human race—down to a manger bed filled with straw.
And He will come down even further than that—from life to death on a cross, and three days in the grave. But He won’t stay there! Like all good sunrises, Jesus will indeed rise—and He will become our light and salvation forever.
WE PRAY: Lord, thank You for going above and beyond for my sake. Amen. Reflection Questions: · Think of the last person who helped you. Did they go above and beyond, or did they do just enough? · Why is Jesus going so far to help you? · How does that affect the way you relate to Him? Advent Devotions were written by Dr. Kari Vo.
