The news broadcast my household watches daily has a tiny segment at the end reporting genuinely good news. Countless evenings we slog through the mire of horrors at home and abroad just to get to that 30 seconds of hope.
The world is desperately in need of good news. In their quest they turn to politics, pleasures, work, and even relationships and it all works for a while. But all too soon the enjoyment and the excitement fades and it's back to trivial pursuit.
We do not have to engage in fruitless searches or pin our hopes on the news to tell us something good. There is good news and its this: After centuries of darkness where humanity forgot the voice of God or that he spoke at all, God sent his Son born in the poorest of circumstances, to save the whole world.
That Baby grew up to be the Man we know as Jesus of Nazareth and from that time until now, he continues to change the lives of those who follow him. In spite of the grief and senseless acts of hatred that have become almost commonplace in our society, Jesus Christ offers good news. What we see now is not what will always be. Good will yet triumph and evil will be permanently destroyed.
Do you know the story? Will you share the Good News with someone this season. For unto us is born a Savior, Christ the Lord.
