but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!

“I bring you good news that will bring great joy to ALL people.”

Jesus didn’t come for the best people; he offers God’s best to all people.

Jesus didn’t just come for HIS people; he came to invite everyone to become his people.

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
