In this Christmas message from Luke 2:1–21, we are reminded that the birth of Jesus is far more than a sentimental story—it is the arrival of the true King. Luke shows us that Jesus is the promised Davidic King, sent by God at the right time to be our Savior. Yet this King comes not in power or privilege, but in humility—born in a stable, laid in a manger, and destined to suffer for our salvation. Finally, the angelic announcement to shepherds reveals Jesus as the Shepherd-King who came for all people, regardless of background or status. From the powerful to the broken, the religious and the outsider, Jesus offers salvation by grace through faith. The humble, sacrificial King has come—calling us to trust Him and respond in worship.
