Some Thoughts on Jesus—Who Came for Nobodies
It humbles my heart and quiets my soul that God—the God of all there is—the God who's surrounded by angels who declare His glory—the God to whom messengers attend and move with strength and speed at His will—the God of the Universe—that God—our GOD–CAME FOR NOBODIES.
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night” (Luke 2:8).
The Pharisees—the religious leaders of that time—spoke of six unworthy professions. Shepherding was one of them. A shepherd wasn’t permitted to give testimony in a court of law. A shepherd wasn’t allowed to go to synagogue. A shepherd was unworthy of entering the Temple because the requirements of their job kept them ritually unclean. On at least one occasion in Israel's history, shepherding was assigned as a punishment for sin. People simply didn’t hang out with shepherds—but God did.
Do you ever feel like a nobody? Left out? Passed over? Unclean? Listen carefully to what happens next—because this is great news for nobodies: Jesus came for nobodies.
I enjoy reading letters children write to Santa Claus. One little guy wrote, "Dear Santa, you didn’t bring me anything good last year. You didn’t bring me anything good the year before that. This is your last chance. Signed, Alfred." But this remains my favorite: "Dear Santa, there are three little boys who live at our house. There is Jeffrey—he’s 2. There is David—he’s 4. And there is Norman—he’s 7. Jeffrey is good some of the time. David is good some of the time. But Norman is good all the time. I am Norman."
We’re not Normans, are we? No, we’re far from perfect. We're nobodies!
That’s the great news of Christmas! Jesus came for nobodies!
