We trace Luke 2 to show how God reclaims “good news” from empire, centers the marginalized, and moves toward people with joy that transforms fear into praise. We call for a response—worship, proclamation, or transformation—and invite those ready to surrender to step forward.
• Luke’s commission and the reframing of euangelion
• Bethlehem over Rome, shepherds over elites, a baby over conquest
• Joy as the person of Jesus, not circumstance
• God initiating and breaking into ordinary spaces
• Prophecy, continuity with the Old Testament patterns
• An everyone gospel widening to include Gentiles
• Moving toward cultural fires with hope and truth
• Three responses to Jesus: worship, proclamation, transformation
