Matthew
1:21, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for
he shall save his people from their sins.”
Today is
the 21st of December. Think
of what Mary and Joseph thought when he realized that “she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew
1:18”) and that… “he shall save his people from their sins.”
(vs.21) I am sure that Joseph’s mind was
in a whirl as he contemplated Christ’s birth. I am glad that both Mary and
Joseph were both willing to obey God.
Because
of their obedience they were able to be used in The Father’s great plan of salvation. I am so thankful for a perfect covenant that
made it possible for my sins to be forgiven.
Why wouldn’t I be happy during this Christmas season? “Therefore being justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of
God.” (Romans 5:1-2) So, I will be rejoicing in
the “the glory of God” because of the fact that by faith I have access to God’s
saving grace.
