Albert Mohler: Good Tidings of Great Joy

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” That’s what the great prophet Isaiah promised centuries before the birth of Christ. The fulfillment of that promise is what we celebrate at Christmas. It happened in little Bethlehem, and the angel announced to shepherds: “I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” And so that baby was born, history was riven in two, and salvation came. As the angelic host declared: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” May you and those you love celebrate a wonderful Christmas, filled with the glory of Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
