"He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as He said to our fathers." Luke 1:54-55

Mary praised God for giving her this baby, whom she recognized as a fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham. Jesus, son of David and son of Abraham, is the fulfillment and the foundation of God's heart desire to bestow blessing after blessing. Though God had seen Israel stray far from obeying Him, He once again in great mercy and compassion, was drawing the nation back to Himself because of His covenant with Abraham. And this was not only for Israel's sake, but also for all nations that were to be blessed through Abraham. The people of God in every age are confronted with a choice: will we give or hoard what we've freely received?

Pray that we will use the blessings of the Lord to bless the nations.
"The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; His kingdom will never end." Luke 1:32, 33

What would you think if an angel told you what your child would become? It happened to Mary. These words are fulfillment of Nathan's prophecy to King David that his dynasty would rule forever and also a fulfillment of the promise given to Abraham that kings would come from his lineage. And this son of David was surely one through whom the everlasting covenant established with Abraham would bring blessing to all nations.
Pray that the Lord will rule more fully over us that we might better declare His praise to the nations who do not know His great Name.

"...and he lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: 'He will be called a Nazarene." Matt. 2:28
Nazareth in Galilee was considered by the Jews to be the armpit of Israel. It was on the very edge of this nation, so the people had frequent dealings with "unclean" Gentiles from bordering areas. Yet because it was located so close to the Gentile peoples, and because it was on the crossroads where many people traveled, Jesus could reach many at a time when travel was rare. Do you live in a place that has low status? Does that mean that God can't use you or your local church to reach the nations in your own back yard?

Pray that God will show you how to reach the nations, no matter where you live.
"When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him." Matt. 2:3
What?? It's understandable that the power-mad Herod would not want the Messiah to be born. He knew that this was the beginning of the end for him. But what about the people of Jerusalem? These are supposed to be God's children! Weren't there many among them who were serious about their relationship with the God they worshipped at the Temple? How could it be that the Jewish people can be more spiritually dull than Gentile astrologers? Likewise, could we become spiritually dull during this Christmas season, as we focus on Christmas shopping and church events rather than the babe of Bethlehem?

Pray that we will have spiritual hunger for Jesus, and not settle for the materialism our culture offers this Christmas season.


"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel, which means, 'God with us.'" Matt 1:23
Throughout the Gospel of Matthew, the author constantly refers to the fulfilled prophesies of Jesus. One of them is that He will be "God with us." Who is "us" in this case? It's very possible that the Jews considered "us" to be the Jews of Israel. But God had a much bigger plan. "Us" means all the nations of the world! Are your plans as big as God's?

Pray that our plans will be as big as the God who sent His Son to Israel 2,000 years ago.


"From that time on Jesus began to preach. 'Repent, for the kingdom of God is near." Matt. 4:17

Pray that the Peoples of Israel Accept Their Messiah!

This Christmas season, we need to begin by remembering the purpose and the message of the One who was born in Bethlehem. This is the headline, so to speak, of Jesus' message to the Jews. When we repent, we turn from our old ways, and adopt the ways God has for us. It is a lifelong process, one which makes the Christian walk an adventure in learning and obeying. One of the sins we need to repent of is that of neglecting those without the gospel. Is there anything you need to repent of in this area?
