“The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.’” – Luke 1:35
As the Christmas season unfolds, we are reminded of the extraordinary hope that arrived with the birth of Jesus Christ. This season, filled with lights, music, and celebration, points us to a moment in history when God fulfilled His promise of salvation through the miraculous birth of His Son.
Mary, a humble young woman, found herself at the heart of this divine plan. When the angel Gabriel spoke to her, revealing that she would give birth to the Son of God, her response was one of faith and anticipation of the great things that lay ahead. This moment would not just change Mary’s life it would change the world for eternity. Luke 1:35 assures us of the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, working to bring forth something holy and transformative.
Just as Mary trusted God’s plan, we too can look forward with hope, knowing that His promises are true. No matter what our situations look like now, we can cling to the promises of His word. The same Holy Spirit that worked in Mary’s life is at work in ours, bringing healing, restoration, and new beginnings. Christmas is not just a celebration of what happened 2,000 years ago but a reminder that the hope born in Bethlehem is alive and accessible to us today. Yet, we focus on the material and fail to remember the supernatural of the Lord’s power working in our lives.
Whether you are facing challenges, brokenness, or uncertainty, this season invites you to trust in God’s promises. Anticipate His healing in your life. Rest in the assurance that Emmanuel—God with us—has come to bring light to the darkest places and restore what is lost.
As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us open our hearts to His transformative power. Allow this Christmas season to renew your hope and anchor your soul in His unchanging love.
