The Christmas story is good news of great joy for all people because the creator of heaven and earth left His throne, came down as a baby, and set aside all of His rights and privileges in order to save us from a world broken by sin, selfishness, and shame because of His great love for us. Light entered into the darkness, joy entered into our sorrow, grace entered into our shame, and Christ has extended an invitation to all of humanity to enter into an eternal joy that will never fade away. That's good news of great joy!
