Introduction
Have you ever ordered something online and tracked the package every single day? You refresh the page, waiting for the words: “Out for delivery.” That’s how Israel felt—centuries of waiting for the Messiah. Christmas is the day the package arrived.
Prophecy Fulfilled
Think of a child waiting for Christmas morning. They count down the days, peeking at the wrapped gifts under the tree, imagining what’s inside. The joy when the gift is finally opened is overwhelming. That’s the joy Israel felt when the angels announced, “Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” The waiting was over. The gift had come.

The Seed Analogy
God’s promises are like seeds planted in the soil. At first, nothing seems to happen. Days, months, even years may pass. But beneath the surface, life is stirring. Eventually, the seed breaks through the soil and grows into something beautiful. Christmas is the sprouting of God’s promise—the seed of hope bursting forth in the form of a child.
Conclusion
Christmas proves that God keeps His word. If He fulfilled His promise of a Savior after centuries of waiting, He will fulfill His promises to you. Maybe you’re waiting for healing, for provision, for peace, or for direction. The birth of Christ is God’s reminder: I am faithful. I will do what I said.
Call To God
Maybe you’ve been waiting for God to show up in your life. Tonight, the promise is fulfilled in Jesus. He is not just the Savior of the world—He wants to be your Savior. Will you receive Him?
Pray this simple prayer:
“Lord Jesus, I believe You are the promised Savior. I open my heart to You today. Forgive my sins, and let Your light shine in my life. Thank You for being God’s greatest gift to me. Amen.”
