Christmas From Cover to Cover: 25-Day Advent Devotional

DAY 22 OF 25

The angels describe Christmas as “good news of great joy for all the people.” Christmas is indeed good news because God has sent His Son for us. Many waited in hopelessness and despair. Generation after generation longed to see the Savior of Israel but died before He ever arrived. Christmas also brings great joy. The good news of this gospel message causes our hearts to rejoice and burst with praise.  In this newborn King, the hopeless will find hope and the lost will be found. Finally, Christmas is for all the people. This good news of great joy was for the poor shepherds in Israel and the rich Wise men from faraway lands. It was for the Jewish families back then and it is for the Westerner today. This good news of great joy is for you and me. Let us rejoice together.  

Reflection Question: Which phrase (good news, great joy, for all people) do you need to be reminded of the most?
