Who is this babe that has caused such a ruckus? Why do millions of people stop to worship a little infant every December? What is so enchanting about the nativity? Why were the shepherds and the wise men so impressed? About whom did the angels sing their chorus?
In church today I was reminded that Israel was in the midst of a very dark night when their Messiah came. Some did not recognize Him, but for those who did, dawn began to break and hope returned. This dawn quickly spread throughout Israel and the neighboring areas. Since then, it has crossed cultures, seas, and language to reach some of the uttermost parts of this globe.
However, there are still so many people living in that dark night waiting for a Messiah. In many places of this world, whole people groups wait and wonder for God to end their night.
Lord, please light those dark places with the dawn of the nativity.
