Description

Key Truth:
The angel’s announcement to the shepherds was the most important birth announcement in history: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Jesus’ birth fulfilled centuries of prophecy and revealed God’s faithfulness. He is not just a baby in a manger—He is Savior, Messiah, and Lord. This good news brings hope, peace, and joy to all who believe. God chose humble shepherds to receive this message first, showing that His promise is for everyone, regardless of status. Christmas reminds us that God’s promises are never empty; they are fulfilled in Christ, who came to bring light into the darkness.
