Dear Savior Jesus Christ, On this day as we celebrate your birth we rejoice at the message the angel proclaimed, “A Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.” You came to do what we could not do for ourselves. You came to be our righteousness; keeping your Father’s commands. You came to be the One who covered our sins with holy blood shed on Calvary’s cross. This day, grateful hearts bow in humble adoration, grateful tongues rejoice and grateful eyes see that you, O Savior God, did all so one day, through faith in you, we will enjoy heaven’s glory. As the Holy Spirit has given us faith in these truths, may these truths inspire us to proclaim this life-giving and life-changing message to desperate people dead in their sins. May many more be blessed to see you, Jesus Christ, as their Savior from sin. We ask this blessing, O Savior, as we also again this Christmas Day thank you for coming to be our Savior. Amen.
