VERSE:
Matthew 1:21–“She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sin.”

TRUTH:
This verse is a brief statement by the angel of the entire purpose for Jesus’s coming. Jesus came to same people from their sins. Such hope, such promise, such excitement is found in this verse. Are will living out the hope and excitement so that it’s visible to others?

RESPONSE:
Lord, You came to bring hope to those who had none. You provided a way for us to experience forgiveness and restoration. You desire reconciliation. Help me to never forget that through You is the hope that everyone needs.
