But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which will be for all the people, for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11
For generations God had sent the prophets proclaiming that the Messiah would come with joyful shouting. He would bring gladness and joy to all with sorrow and sighing flying away. Time after time God told them to listen, look, pay attention, lift up their eyes, and wake up. How would God get their attention on the day of His birth? A heavenly host filled the night sky with light and rejoicing in the face of lowly shepherds. The joy had finally arrived and the shepherd couldn't keep it to themselves. They spread the glad tidings wherever they went. God would love it if the message of His Son would grip us as well. May the glory of the heavenly host fill our hearts this Christmas season, and remain there every day all year long. "Joy to the World".
