“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Luke 2: 8-14
Most people long for a better world. I know I do. A world without terrorists, without torture, without brutality, without tragedy, without heartbreak, without catastrophe, a world without disease, a world without suffering, a world without death. Such a world will come one day. This is not another a utopian view of the future, another project by the human race to save itself. Such a world only comes through the one born in Bethlehem to reign in heaven and on earth. To those who believe in him and recive him is promised a new earth and a new heaven. This is why the incarnation and birth is the gospel – God’s good news. The joy for us is to believe & to worship in wonder
"...a better country"
