Right Responses to the Good News of Great Joy
Scripture: Hebrews 1:14, Luke 2:8-14
Angels are more than celestial beings; they are messengers of God, created to glorify Him and serve His purposes. In the Christmas narrative, they bring the good news of Jesus’ birth to the shepherds, proclaiming, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). This message is a reminder of the divine orchestration in our lives and the importance of recognizing God’s hand in our circumstances.
Responding to the Good News of Great Joy: Lessons from the Angels and Shepherds
The Christmas narrative in the Gospel of Luke offers profound insights into the nature of divine revelation and the appropriate human response to it. As we follow the story from the perspective of the angels, shepherds, and Mary, we should be inspired by their actions to greater faith, praise, and worship in our own lives as we follow Jesus.
