The Good News of Christmas

Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / Dec 21, 2025

Text: Luke 2:10–14

Introduction

At Christmas, people often miss what matters most: the Savior was born.

I. The Gospel Is Good News Because It

“Fear not” (Luke 2:10)

A. The Good News Soothes in

God ended a period of silence and darkness (Galatians 4:4).
The Gospel brings light into fear-filled lives.

B. The Good News Soothes in

Simeon trusted God’s promise and faced death in peace
(Luke 2:29).
The Gospel removes fear of death, loss, and judgment.

II. The Gospel Is Good News Because It

“Good tidings of great joy” (Luke 2:10)

The world seeks joy in money, fame, and power — but remains empty.
True and lasting joy is found only in Christ.

III. The Gospel Is Good News Because of Its

“Which shall be to all people” (Luke 2:10)

Salvation is offered to everyone:
- God loves the world (John 3:16).
- Christ died for the sins of the whole world
  (1 John 2:2).
- Jesus tasted death for every person
  (Hebrews 2:9).
- God gave His Son for us all (Romans 8:32).

IV. The Gospel Is Good News Because of Its

“Unto you” (Luke 2:11)

The Gospel is personal and individual.
Christ values each person:
- The woman at the well.
- Nicodemus.
- The healing of one man after 38 years.
- The parables of the lost sheep, coin, and son
  (Luke 15).

V. The Gospel Is Good News Because of Its

“A Savior is born” (Luke 2:11)

All people are lost and need salvation
(Romans 3:23).
Humanity’s problem is sin — requiring a Savior.
Jesus came as a substitute, shedding His blood for sin.

Conclusion

The Gospel is good news because:
1. It soothes fear.
2. It satisfies the soul.
3. It is for all people.
4. It is personal — “unto you.”
5. It proclaims a Savior.
