As we draw near to Christmas, God has a sincere concern for you personally, which was identified long ago by His servant Moses. As Moses was speaking with God regarding the enslavement of Israel in Egypt the LORD said, “You shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers declares I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you.’”

God heard the desperate cries of His enslaved people and sent Moses as His mouthpiece to deliver approximately 2.5 million people into freedom and a land of abundance. While on that journey Moses told the people, “The LORD will raise for you a prophet like me from among yourselves. It is to Him you shall listen” (Deut 18:15, Acts 3:22, 7:37). He will be a miracle working mediator, redeemer, savior, as well as God encased in a human body (Titus 3:4-6).

One thousand five hundred years later, Mary, a young teenage virgin living in the Galilee of Israel, received a visit from the angel Gabriel. She accepted her calling to birth the promised Messiah as a virgin and name Him Jeshua, or Jesus, meaning YHWH is salvation. Nine months later she gave birth to God in the flesh (called Immanuel), who came because He was, “indeed concerned about them and what had been done to them,” while under Roman rule.

Most of us don’t care to talk about our mistakes, sins, hurts and failures. We all have secrets, although not from God. On top of that, we may have been unfairly abused and hurt physically or emotionally. As we are approaching Christmas I want you to know God is, “indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you too.”

He is greatly concerned for those in need of His grace, mercy, healing touch and most of all, His salvation. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re all messed up and we all need Jesus Christ. He’s the greatest gift of all, and just a call away.
