“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people” (Luke 2:10).
The media world often talks about “Breaking News”. This refers to an important event that has just happened or is currently happening. Such news is considered engaging enough to command the attention of people.
But far more important than all the breaking news in the world is the news of the love of God that made Him send Christ to the world. This is the greatest breaking news of all times and it is unique for so many reasons.
It is the news for the good of all men in all races and all strata of the society. This “good tidings of great joy” was so imperative and urgent that angels were dispatched to proclaim it. Unlike other breaking news of the world which fade away into insignificance with time, the good news about Christ has been breaking for more than 2,000 years.
This news about the mercy of God and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is new every morning (Lamentations 3:23). For as long as the world endures and there is a soul to be saved, this breaking news shall continue to subsist. Hallelujah!
Finally, the news about Christ is the truth that sets the hearers free (John 8:32). This truth about of the love of God has power to take away your fears, make all things become new for you, and give you abundant life. It is the news that facilitates answer to prayers, brings you into God’s purpose for your life, and sets you on course for eternal bliss.
If you will receive and believe this breaking news, the power of God will flow through you and you will never remain the same again. May you experience the blessings of all that Christ has accomplished for you in all its fullness.
