We open our Bible and read that on one night long ago, heaven opened up to a few ordinary men on a hill and the world was never the same after that. Here is what they heard from the mouths of angels:
“‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord’” (Luke 2:10-11 ESV).
There was a day when in the little Middle Eastern town of Bethlehem, the Lord, the very God who created the world, was born. And he was born for a reason. He knew we could not find our way to him, so he came to us.
Jesus came on a mission. He did not come to condemn us (John 3:17) for our rebellion against God, but to save us from our sins through the greatest demonstration of love the world has ever known (Romans 5:8).
What is the gospel? It’s the great climax of the Bible: the good news of great joy that if we repent of our sins, believing in Jesus for forgiveness, we will be saved from God's wrath, and be given new and eternal life (John 3:16).
