The Best Announcement
The Best Announcement
by: Pastor Ryan Scheibel
Luke 2:10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.”
After Jesus was born, an Angel shows up to some shepherds in a field in the country.
The only angel I have ever met, I married her, and that is my wife Shawna, she is an angel!
I love how the angel says this good news is for “ all people”. This is hope for all. The good news of Jesus is for anyone who accepts and follows Him! Jesus’ life was lived that way.
The invitation to eternal life has been sent to each of us but it’s up to us to either accept it or reject it.
Jesus said in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
What the shepherds did after they heard the announcement, is a good example for all of us.
First of all, they received the message of the angels by faith. They didn’t stand around with their arms folded doubting and rejecting, they ran quickly. They heard the news, and they responded immediately. Once they saw and they found Christ, they told other people.
Many people hear the gospel, but don’t personally respond to the message of Jesus. The shepherds seek out and found Jesus. “Wise men still seek him,” because the wisest thing you can do is seek Jesus. Job 28 tells us wisdom is found in God and Proverbs 9:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
