This week’s passage contains some of the best news ever spoken. On the day of Christ’s birth, an angel appeared to the shepherds and announced that the long awaited Messiah had finally come.

Take a look at the passage. It’s found in Luke 2:10-12:

The message was delivered. It was simple. It was quiet. It was unexpected. And it was unassuming.

And yet is was the greatest news ever, profound beyond comprehension. And the effects have rippled through the generations, and even now more than ever, these words offer the hope and peace that the world needs to hear.

We have a Savior. God’s promise has been realized.

Merry Christmas!
