'''For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.''' Luke 2:30-32
These words, spoken by a man who saw Jesus as a baby and knew who He was, sum up Jesus' purpose in coming to the earth. He was the salvation meant for all peoples, redeeming God's chosen people Israel and opening it up to everyone else. No longer was there a difference between people groups, no longer an exclusive relationship with God based on race or heritage. Jesus opened the door wide for all people, a love that takes each of us as we are and redeems us. Revelation and glory, indeed! What a beautiful God we serve, a God willing to sacrifice everything out of love for us!
