Luk 2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
The shepherd were on their daily duties keeping watch of the flock at night when the angels brought the news of the birth Jesus Christ the Messiah. They gave a description of how they would meet the new born and the shepherd went on to confirm what they been informed.
They went back with great joy and went spreading the news throughout Bethlehem town and the news kept spreading.
The angel pointedly highlighted that the announcement was “for all the people”. It is not discriminatory but FOR ALL. Christmas season is a season of good news and joy to all human race. We recall the birth of our savior. Beyond making merry, it should draw more joy because the news confirms that all our sins are freely pardoned.
As we celebrate the birth of Christ, we should make every effort to spread the good news of his birth in our hearts. Don’t be left out this season but heed to the clarion call to partake the good news. Don’t discredit yourself for you are to be a shareholder of the Good News.
