Luke 1:32
NKJV
He will
be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give
Him the throne of His father David.
NLT
He will
be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will
give him the throne of his ancestor David.
Spurgeon said, “Is it not
proven that he is great? Conquerors are great, and he is the greatest of them.
Deliverers are great, and he is the greatest of them. Liberators are great, and
he is the greatest of them. Saviors are great, and he is the greatest of them.”
He shall be called great! Jesus’ birth was
preceded by this statement. What parent doesn’t think their kid will be great. The
words “will be” have potential. They only let us see what is to come. We have a
vision of all that our kids will be all through their lives. We see them through
our dreams of what we want them to be.
I wonder if Mary ever thought about who Jesus would be as she
carried Him in her womb for nine months? Did she think that He would do public ministry
for three years and then die a horrible death on a cross? Probably not, she
probably had some thoughts of how special he would be just based on the circumstances
of her conception, being visited by an angel will get your attention.
Jesus was, and is and is to come, great! History and who we as
believers know Him to be, has proven that out. But we and our own children haven’t
proven our own greatness. But there is greatness there because God loves us even
unto death. How special are we as sons and daughters that God loved us enough
to say, “you’re so special that I will die for you!”
Don’t let this season go by without experiencing Jesus as
your personal savior. He can, and will, fill your every need. Just lean in,
trust Jesus today. He said we would go on to do greater things than He (John 14:12-14,
“I tell you
the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and
even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so
that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will
do it!)
Go be great,
cej
