The Birth of Jesus: God's Goodwill to All

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:13-14 NKJV)

The birth of Jesus was a sign from God that His will for all mankind is good. Many people blame God for the bad things that happen in this world, but His desire is for all people to live joyful, healthy, and prosperous lives. 3 John 1:2 says, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."

Even before Jesus came, God gave the sun, moon, and stars; He gave the beauty of the earth and food from the land; the earth is full of the goodness of God!

When Jesus was born, it was a sign that God cares for everyone. In His love and compassion, God sent Jesus for our sakes, to give us the fullness of life, and to bring us back into fellowship with Himself. God isn't the one causing bad things to happen - He's the one who sent the solution.

In Christ, we have everything, including victory in all circumstances. In Christ, we've overcome Satan, death, and all the works of darkness. Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have been given all that we need to have and enjoy life. This is God's will for us all.

"The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." (John 10:10 AMPC)
