Todays gift is Good News
When Jesus was born the angels said behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy.
Good tidings = good news
When Jesus was born the world received the greatest news.
God told the shepherds who were hard working; I believe to show that your status in life doesn’t matter to Him.
Jesus was born in a stable which I think lets us know it doesn’t matter where you come from, He loves you just the same.
When Jesus was leaving this world
He gave us a command to go and share the gospel.
Gospel = Good news
We are to share the Good news that Jesus came as a baby. Died for our sins. Rose again to prepare a place for us.
Jesus is the Good news. It’s a timeless story that never gets old. The Good news never goes away. The Gospel never ends or runs out.
Share this gift with those around you who need to know there is hope.
Mark 16:15

Luke 2:8 – 12
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
