Good News of Joy

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:11

· · ·

The angel's announcement to shepherds contains the essence of the gospel: a Savior is born.

The message came first to society's outcasts, demonstrating that this salvation is for all people. The titles given—Savior, Christ, Lord—declare His mission, anointing, and authority. This news produces joy because it addresses humanity's deepest need: deliverance from sin and restoration to God.

Let the simple joy of this announcement refresh your heart today—a Savior has been born for you, in the city of David.

Lord Jesus, Savior and Christ, thank You for being born in David's city to be my Savior. Fill my heart with the joy that first came to shepherds watching their flocks. Amen.
