Notice the simple phrase—”born this day in the city of David.” The city of David is not Jerusalem—it’s Bethlehem, which is six or seven miles south of Jerusalem. I have been there three times. Today Bethlehem is an Arab town under Palestinian control, but when Jesus was born it was a tiny Jewish community. Modern Bethlehem is a bustling, busy town ...
Let’s look again at the text. The angel says, “Unto you is born this day in the city of David.” Just focus on the three words—”born this day.” They speak to the fact that what happened in Bethlehem was nothing less than the birth of the Son of God. There are two aspects to this truth we need to mention. The first is that there were no miracles asso...
Second, it’s important to remind ourselves that the phrase “this day” means that it really happened. Francis Schaeffer used to talk about “lower-story” truth and “upper-story” truth. “Lower-story” truth is made up of the facts of history—the who, what, when and where of events that really happened at a certain time in a place to particular people. ...
Now we come to the climax of this verse: “A Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Here’s an interesting fact that comes from the Greek text of Luke 2. When Luke wrote his account, he didn’t use any articles to describe who Jesus is. It reads this way: Savior … Christ … Lord. Each word is vitally important. Savior is actually an Old Testament word that m...
Our text contains one final truth for our consideration. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David.” Consider those two words: “unto you.” Pause for a moment and consider who was speaking and who was being addressed. When the shepherds heard these words from the angel, they must have been flabbergasted. We forget that shepherds were near ...
Let me now make a simple application. The angel said, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior.” “Unto you.” “For you.” He came for you. This is where Christmas becomes intensely personal. It’s not enough to say abstractly that you believe Christ came. Millions of people say that and are still lost in their sins. It’s not enough...

Dec 25, 2011 · For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Dec 25, 2016 · He was born of a virgin, the Blessed Virgin Mary, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The angel, St. Gabriel, announced to St. Mary [ Luke 1.35 ]: 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.
Jesus had to be born for God to redeem mankind. Sin requires a redeemer because the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23, Genesis 3:15, Revelation 12:1-4, and Hebrews 9:9-12. In conclusion, it’s important to understand that the sole reason for celebrating this day is specifically to celebrate the reason surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.
