The Announcement Changed Fear to Joy


Daily Scripture

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”

Luke 2:10


devotion

The shepherds were terrified when the angel appeared to them, but their fear turned to joy when they heard the good news of Jesus' birth. This same message transforms our lives today. The announcement of Jesus' birth reminds us that God's glory has come near to ordinary, broken people—not to condemn but to bring peace and joy. It’s an invitation to let go of fear and embrace the joy that comes from knowing Christ as Savior and King.

What fears might you need to surrender to fully experience the joy that Jesus offers?

 “Great fear becomes great joy. This baby has begun the overspilling of God’s peace and glory.” - Pastor Luke
