December 25________________________________________
They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph, and there was the baby, lying in the manger. After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. -Luke 2:16-17(NLT)
THE GOOD NEWS
A poem and essay by ILMA
When Mary and Joseph gathered in front of the baby
The shepherds too had a moment to soak in Jesus’ glory
The Good News of the birth of Christ was amazing
It was a scene that is worth seeing and remembering.
After magnifying over the baby Jesus, they told everyone
They were filled with joy as they tell others about God’s Son
Share the Good News of Jesus’ birth to all so they can praise him
God gave his only Son so we can be out of bondage and free from sin.

Today is Christmas. The best news we can ever hear is that God sent his only Son to save us from sin and give us new life. In Jesus’ birth, we can also be born again. It was the time that we can remember the magnificent love God has for all his people. It was a day to celebrate joyfully how much sacrifice God is willing to give to mankind. The good news is that we are saved because Christ became one of us and he freed us from sin.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for giving us your Son to free us from sin.
REFLECTION
How can you spread the good news to as much people this Christmas?
