Title: Good News of Great Joy

One of my favourite parts about the Christmas story is when the angel and the heavenly host appeared to the shepherds, to think of how amazed they must have been, having never experienced the glory of God like that, and to imagine what it would have been like to be there that night. In the flurry of the Christmas season, let us always keep in mind the message of great joy that was announced that incredible night, and to not just hear but boldly move forward to experience Jesus up close just like the shepherds did.

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 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. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” (Luke 2:8-15 NIV)
