All. An angel announced to common shepherds the greatest news the world had ever heard: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:10-11).  Isn’t it intriguing that the most important announcement in history is made to those considered the lowliest in society?  A choir of angels appears in the sky singing to the glory of God.  The message was simple and direct – the Messiah, the Savior, the Lord has now come.  This is absolutely “good news of great joy.”  Our Savior has come to rescue us – the best news a person could ever hear!  Who does he come for?  “All the people.”  All may not receive his rescue, but he has come save all who recognize their need of him.  The message of Jesus Christ coming to save sinners in need continues to be the best news for all nations on earth.  Our task in making the message known is to share this good news with others, pointing them to Christ the Lord who will bring them great joy.  In this way, we continue what the angels began – we announce what God has done.  This is a major reason God has left you on earth: to share his message and spread his joy.  How has Christ brought joy into your life?
