Bible Verse 11
“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11 NIV
Why Is This Verse Famous?
This verse is at the heart of the Christmas story. It’s the announcement of Jesus’ birth, the moment Christians believe hope entered the world in the form of a Person.
A Short Explanation of the Verse
The Book of Luke tells the story of Jesus’ life. It’s one of the four books we call “the gospels”: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. All four tell the story of Jesus’ life from different perspectives. They share many similarities, but they each have something unique to say.
In this famous story, angels showed up to announce Jesus’ birth, not to kings or powerful leaders, but to shepherds working the night shift. Ordinary people, with an ordinary job. They declared that this baby was the Savior, the long-awaited rescuer God had promised for generations.
The word “Messiah” means the anointed one, the chosen king—the one God would send to set things right.
This verse is a simple sentence, but it changes everything. God entered history as a baby. He came close. He came to bring love, forgiveness, and restoration into a world that desperately needed it.
What Could This Verse Mean for You
If you’re new to the Bible or still figuring out what you believe, this verse is an invitation. Jesus’ story starts with good news for ordinary people like you. He came so you could know God’s love personally and discover the hope He offers.
