December 19 – The Hope of Redemption

Scripture:   “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” — Luke 19:10 (NKJV)  

Reflection:   The manger points to the cross — Jesus came to redeem humanity. The story of Christmas is the story of salvation.  

Prayer:   Lord, thank You for saving me. Help me never forget the purpose of Your coming. Amen.
