The Angels' Song of Glory and Peace | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text:  Luke 2:8-14   The Scope of the Gospel Story (2:8-10) God kept His promise to His people in condescending to the lowest of towns and to the lowest of people for the purpose of redemption (Isaiah 61:1; Micah 5:2-5). The Gospel is the good news of great joy for all people who believe it (John 15:1-11; Romans 15:8-13).   The Savior of the Gospel Story (2:11-12) The Gospel comes to all people through the Savior, Christ the Lord "Savior" refers to Jesus, the One who will save us and forgive us from our sins. "Christ" refers to the One who is the Anointed King and promised Messiah. "Lord" refers to the One who is Yahweh or Jehovah.      The Summit of the Gospel Story (2:13-14) The culmination of the Gospel is the glory of God and peace with God in Christ. True peace comes from God and from His good pleasure to reconcile Himself to sinful man through the Gospel.
