And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.”
Luke 1:35
And with this announcement the world has changed. We are just a little over a month away from this year’s Christmas celebration. And if we can strip away the ribbons, tinsel, hype, and hustle, we will find this powerful truth in the center of the Nativity manger: Jesus is the Son of God.
The angel promised Mary that Jesus would be the inheritor of David’s throne (Luke 1:31). His reign would be greater than David’s. As the Son of God, He will reign forever. His kingdom will never end. From that moment on that fact has driven world history and still does even now. Jesus reigns!
Christmas is more than remembering a birth. It is a season to celebrate the King and His kingdom. Praise God that this world is under His rule today. And Jesus will never cease to lovingly, wisely, firmly, and justly rule over us! Amen.
