"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men" (Luke 2:8-14)
This Scripture is the Christmas message. Let us rejoice in the season of faith, and not be weighed down by needless fear. God the Son came into the world two thousand years ago and took on human flesh, that He might present Himself a sacrifice to reconcile you with God. Behold His glory, receive His peace, and accept His good will. The Lord awaits you right now.
