Divinely Inspired Plan

Dear Readers,

            Welcome to Week 2 of our 6-week slow stroll through the events leading up to the birth of Christ and the few days following. We will not cover every aspect of the Advent Story, but rather we will take time to read carefully and perhaps notice a few new things along the way. Our goal is deep thought, reflection, and introspection of our lives as a result of the wondrous birth of our Lord.

            Each day we will look at only a few verses, or some days only a single verse. Notice the Who? What? Where? When? and How? that might apply to each passage. You might ask yourself why the text was important then? and why it is important now? My commentary will be noticeably brief; the goal, as noted above, is personal thought, reflection and introspection. Blessings to you as we journey through the Advent Season together.

Week 2/Day 4, Thursday

Luke 1:31-32, 35  You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. … The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.”

            The birth of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, was indeed a miraculous event from any angle of observation or perspective. And yet it was real and remains real. God’s plan to save us, to create a people who would voluntarily choose to turn from self-centeredness and seek God alone was not a new plan nor an alternate plan of options. It was a divinely inspired plan set in motion before the world began.

John 1:1-5  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. he was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Prayer Suggestion:  Thank God for his omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence. Thank God for the plan of salvation we have through the grace of Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son.
