The proclamation of the birth of Jesus Christ demonstrates there is no one too insignificant or too lowly to be able to receive God’s favor and forgiveness. God chose to make available to a sinful world an opportunity to repent and accept this gift, through Jesus Christ, and find peace! God chose, and we too must choose to repent and believe in faith for the forgiveness of our sins. When we do that, His favor and peace rests on us. What a great truth to celebrate this week!
