Born Savior is the most powerful announcement ever made to humanity. When angels declared this message to the shepherds on that first Christmas, they proclaimed the answer to every human need.
This was not just good news for one nation or one group of people. The born Savior came for everyone, the wealthy and the poor, the religious and the outcast, the powerful and the powerless.
Today, as you celebrate Christmas, remember that the born Savior transforms everything. Your past does not define you. Your present struggles do not defeat you. Your future holds eternal hope because of Him.
Born Savior: Key Takeaway
- Jesus Christ came as Savior, Messiah, and Lord to rescue humanity from sin completely.
Anchor Bible Verse of the day
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
— Luke 2:11 (NKJV)
The angel announced the most significant birth in history to common shepherds watching their flocks. This was not a future promise. The Savior had already arrived that very day in Bethlehem.
Three titles identify who Jesus is. He is the Savior, the one who rescues from danger. He is Christ, the promised Messiah. And, He is Lord, God Himself in human flesh.
This born Savior fulfilled centuries of prophecy. What Isaiah foretold and what David’s line promised now lay wrapped in swaddling cloths in a manger.
Key Explanations
- Born to you this day: The Savior came at the exact moment God appointed in history, not as a future promise but as present reality, available immediately to all who would receive Him.
- In the city of David: Bethlehem, the prophesied birthplace of the Messiah according to Micah 5:2, confirming that this child is the fulfillment of ancient promises given to God’s people.
- Savior, who is Christ the Lord: Three titles revealing Jesus’ complete identity: Savior who delivers from sin, Christ the anointed Messiah, and Lord who is God Himself come to dwell among us.
Born Savior: A Reflection
Jesus, the born Savior, came specifically for you. Notice the angel said “to you”; this is personal. Jesus was not born just to be admired from a distance. He came to save you from your sins. Matthew 1:21 says:
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.
This is why the born Savior entered our world. Your greatest problem is sin, and your greatest need is rescue. Jesus came to provide exactly that.
Think about what the angel announced. The born Savior is Christ the Lord. These three titles together are incredible:
- As Savior, He delivers you from sin.
- As Christ, He fulfills every promise God made about redemption.
- As Lord, He has authority over everything, including your circumstances and your future.
Many people celebrate Christmas without understanding the born Savior. They focus on gifts and traditions while missing the point. Jesus did not come just to make life comfortable.
He came because you were dead in sin and needed resurrection. He came because you were lost and needed finding.
Consider the shepherds who first heard this announcement. They were outcasts; their job made them ceremonially unclean. Yet God chose them to receive the greatest news first.
This shows you that the born Savior came for everyone, especially those who feel unworthy. You do not need to clean up before coming to Jesus. Come messy, broken, and desperate, and He saves you.
Today is Christmas. As you celebrate, make it about the born Savior.
- Thank Him for leaving heaven to enter our broken world.
- Thank Him for dying to pay for your sins.
- Thank Him for rising to give you eternal life.
And if you have never trusted Him as your Savior, do it today. He was born on that sacred night specifically so you could be saved.
Blessings..!
