Good News!

Luke 2:8-11

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 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 of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.'"

Greetings,

Every day somewhere in our world there are folks receiving good news.  

"Here's your raise!"

"Congratulations, it's a girl!"

"Here are the keys to your new car!"

"I've met the man of my dreams!"

"You're approved for a mortgage!"

All those things are fine and dandy, but not necessarily of great importance to everyone on the planet.  However, the above verse is good news for every single person, because Jesus was born for the benefit of everyone.

As our Savior, He brought peace, joy, wisdom, hope, faith, love, grace, mercy, and salvation for anyone willing to receive these blessings, and it all starts with prayer.

PRAYER: Dear Jesus, Our hearts are thinking about You and how You came as a little baby with so many promises for our benefit.  We need every single one! We open up our lives to You today, and we receive all of You.  Glory to Your name, and peace on earth. In Your name, Amen.
