December 23, 2023 I BRING YOU GOOD NEWS
Luke 2:10-11 “And the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, for I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths, and lying in a manger.’”
It is difficult, if not impossible to comprehend that the God who created the universe, the God of all power and authority, chose to become like man and be born in a stable. In describing how God humbled Himself in being born as a man, someone said that ‘God allowed to have His diapers changed.’ Even though Mary did not understand it all, how amazing that when she held the babe Jesus in her arms, she was holding God!!! Wow! That’s makes the point. In this Christmas season, we hear a lot about the events around the birth of Jesus. Let us not lose the awe and the wonder of Jesus, the Son of God, coming and being born in a stable so that our sins could be forgiven and that we could become children of God and spend eternity with God in heaven. The birth of Jesus had unimaginable consequences; Satan was defeated; the sin problem was dealt with once for all; and man could be restored to a relationship with God. Even the angels were amazed at the plan God had for the salvation of man; Jesus’ birth was indeed good news for all people, including you and I. He was born as Savior for all people, but sad to say, some reject Him and never come to know Him as Savior. The birth of Jesus changed everything! Now, you and I can rejoice in our salvation; we can live with a clear conscience; we can have an abiding hope and joy; and we can enjoy a relationship with our Heavenly Father-all because one day, Jesus came to earth as Savior. Let us rejoice and be glad, no matter our present circumstances; we are destined to live with Him forever-starting now.
Luke 2:13-14 “And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.’”
