“And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.’” Luke 2:10 (ESV)
The good news of the birth of Jesus was promised for everybody. The following verse, which we read three days back, explains that the baby would be a Savoir – a very special Savior for He was Christ the Lord. And this Savior was not just for a small group of shepherds. He had come to be a Savior available to everybody – for all the people. The news from heaven was about a great joy available to all who would believe and accept the Savior as their own. We should never forget this. And what is it that brings us joy at Christmas? We should enjoy having time with friends and loved ones. We should enjoy the gifts. But the really greater joy that never ends comes from knowing Jesus as our Savior. So, enjoy the promise of eternal life he gives and the assurance of His presence with us. And, if you do not know Jesus as the Savior, you can right now – believe and receive the gift from God and you will receive forgiveness, have great joy and eternal life.
