Matthew 2; Luke 2

From the day of His birth, it was clear that Jesus was no ordinary child.
It wasnβt just the new star in the heavens or the joyous angelic proclamation that made Jesusβs infancy unique. It was also the fact that such a variety of faithful peopleβfrom different nations, professions, and backgroundsβfelt immediately drawn to Him.
Even before He uttered His invitation to βcome, follow me,β they came (Luke 18:22).
Not everyone came to Him, of courseβthere were many who paid Him no notice, and a jealous ruler even sought His life.
But the humble, pure, devoted seekers of righteousness found what they were seeking in Him.
Their devotion inspires our own, for the βgood tidings of great joyβ brought to the shepherds were for βall people,β and the βSaviour, which is Christ the Lordβ was born that day unto all of us (see Luke 2:10–11).
