Good News

(Luke 2.10-11 NIV) But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."

(Acts 5:42 NIV) Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

If you have good news, don't you share it with everyone?

I have some good news to share, too. Basically, that there is a God; that He provides a solution to our suffering through His son, Jesus Christ; and that He has a unique and special plan and purpose for you and me.
