O Come All Ye Faithful: Beholding the Savior

With so much vying for our attention and love, O Come All Ye Faithful serves as a wakeup call for us to focus in on that which truly matters.

Key Takeaways:

#1: All are invited to come to Jesus.

As Jesus comes into the world, His arrival is made known to the

unlikeliest of people: shepherds. These outcasts receive the news of

the Savior’s birth with haste. We should do the same.

#2: Jesus is more than a baby in the manger.

Jesus is not a mere baby – He is the Eternal Son of God, the Word of

the Father, the King of angels. His arrival literally changed the world.

#3: We are to give Jesus our adoration.

Jesus is worthy of our full adoration. We must respond to the beauty

of the gospel by dying to ourselves and following Him. This is the

Way that leads to abundant life.

Reflection Questions:

#1. As you hear about Jesus’ titles and attributes — Savior, Messiah,

Lord, Mighty God — how does this challenge or affirm your current

understanding of spirituality and God?

#2. Consider the shepherds’ response to the angelic announcement

and their immediate journey to see the newborn Jesus. In your own

life, what might it look like to respond urgently to the call of Jesus?

#3. Reflect on the idea of Jesus standing at the door of your heart,

knocking and calling you to a new beginning. What emotions or

thoughts does this concept stir within you?
