GOOD NEWS FOR ALL PEOPLE



"But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’" — Luke 2:10 (NIV)


Over 2,000 years ago, God fulfilled His promises to humanity by sending Jesus Christ into the world. When the angels announced this news to the shepherds, they declared it as good news of great joy for all people. The birth of Jesus is the foundation of humanity’s salvation because:


1. Jesus was born to save people from sin.

As written in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." The birth of Jesus brings hope to those lost in sin.


2. Jesus came to heal wounds of the heart and body.

In our lives, we face challenges like sorrow, sickness, or pain. But as we remember the birth of Jesus, we find assurance that our healer is with us. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."


3. Jesus is a helper for everyone, no matter their status.

He was born humbly in a manger, showing that He came for all—rich and poor, high and low. There’s no situation Jesus cannot understand or help with because He became human to save all humanity.


4. The birth of Jesus brings hope to the brokenhearted.

Jesus brought peace to a world overshadowed by the darkness of sin. For those in distress, Christmas reminds us that Jesus is the "Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).


5. The birth of Jesus confirms God’s faithfulness.

It is a testament that God keeps His promises. For those waiting on answers to their prayers, the birth of Jesus assures us that God is trustworthy.


Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming into the world for me. Help me to reflect deeply on this joyful news. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
