Christmas Gifts: The Gift of Good News
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” –Luke 2:9-11
Good news is a gift.
Something good comes into our lives and we tell people! A new job, a wedding, a baby on the way, cancer gone, a relationship restored. People helping people. Answered prayer. Unexpected blessings. The best stuff gets shared.
You can’t keep it to yourself!
Good news is a treasure in times like these when so much news is not good. We need good news more than ever—deep, soul-reaching, life-changing good news.
Good news like that an angel delivered to a huddle of chilly shepherds on that first Christmas night. He had more to announce than just “Hey, here’s something you may be interested in.”
The message was so good, a great host of angels came along to reinforce the “glad tidings of great joy to all the people”!
It will do more than put a smile on your face. This news will bring life to your heart!
What is this good news? A Savior is born. The long-promised Messiah who delivers us from the curse of sin. The Savior who rescues you and me through His own sacrificial death and resurrection life.
That Savior is Jesus. God’s own Son, born Immanuel—God with us. The Lamb who takes away our sin. Jesus who came as the Light for the nations, for all people.
Today, at least a third of our world still needs to hear the Good News of Jesus. They need to know this Savior who loves them so much that He died for each one. That He carried the penalty for their sin on his own shoulders. This is the Gospel message—Good News—you and I can share to bring joy to all the people.
If you have unwrapped and embraced the gift of Good News in your life, give thanks today. Tell Jesus what it’s meant to you to have Him as your Savior.
Then look around and see who else needs the Good News—a neighbor, a co-worker, someone who crosses your path this Christmas season. You can also share this gift with the third of the world still waiting, when you assist Global Disciples and others working to take the Good News of Jesus to unreached people.
Be the bearer of the Good News, wherever you go, and watch it transform lives. After all, this is one gift that only grows when you give it to others.
