“Good News of Great Joy”

by Alistair Begg

Selected Scriptures  (ID: 3465)

At the first Christmas, the angels announced “good news of great joy”: at long last, a Savior was coming to rescue sinners. Even to this day, the fantastic story of Christmas is not that we can make ourselves acceptable to God but that God came to earth in the person of Jesus, stepping down into time in order to provide the answer to the predicament that we face. This gift of grace is available to all who will receive Jesus, forsake all else, and trust unreservedly in Him.
