"Good Tidings"

A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes

“Good Tidings”
Luke 2:10
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.

Good news! Good news! I love hearing good news. That night the shepherds were doing what they always did, watched the sheep. Maybe some of the shepherds were bored and sleepy. You know, the same old grind, day after day after day. They didn’t know this night was going to be special. They didn’t know this night was going to change their lives forever. The angel of the Lord came down and God’s Glory shown all around them. God’s Glory shown so bright the shepherds couldn’t stand it. They were so afraid, they hid their faces. All of a sudden the shepherds heard “Fear Not.” This wonderful good tidings message that the angel brought to the shepherds was to ALL people. That’s you and me, praise God! We don’t have to be afraid anymore. We have the good news! Let the “good tidings” of great joy change your life forever. Of course you know the rest of the story. Oh Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ The Lord!!!!

Wonder Savior, Prince of Peace, I come to You with thanksgiving for this wonderful season. I love to celebrate Your Birthday! But most of all I celebrate in my heart. Visit me with Your Glory and change me. Speak to me with good tidings. I adore You Lord. Amen
