"Good News"
Scripture Reading:
Luke 2:11 (HCSB) Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David.

Devotional Reading:
Keep the Son in your eyes,
For
each of us, it takes different things to get us excited. The least
good thing we hear about might be the 'good news' we've been waiting to
hear. The newsthat our child has gotten good grades is exciting to
know, since that keeps them from failing. And we know they are learning
at school. The news of a new job promotion is also wonderful to hear.
It means that our pay day is going to be larger, and perhaps that
employer does appreciate us after all! It
was exciting to us, as parents, to hear that our daughter was going to
be starting on varsity for Cross Country. That might not be something
special for other parents, but it made us swell with pride!Also, I
remember back when my son came home from high school to tell me he had
missed being on the distinguished honor roll by a 10th of a point (that
is getting very nitty gritty). Well, thatwas wonderful news to us! This
is the season for 'good news' in it's finest. It's not the decorating
of our trees and homes to influence our neighbors or friends. It's not
the purchasing of fine gifts and toys for our children or kinfolks. It's
not eating at thebest restaurant to enjoy a delicious Christmas dinner,
or having the family gathering at someone's house to enjoy all the
great dishes. But, it's the good news of the birth of Jesus Christ, the
Savior of the world. God sent His only Son to earth, to live hereas we
do, to know the life of a human, but, yet, he never sinned. He lived
thirty three short years on earth, only to return to His Father, when He
was crucified on that cross, bearing all our sins, so that we could,
one day, live with him eternally, if we chose to follow after Him - the
GOOD NEWS!
Keep the Son in your eyes,
