<p>The Bible verse <em>Luke 2:10</em> presents us with one of the most touching scenes of the birth of <em>Jesus</em>. The shepherds who were tending their sheep in the field were surprised by the appearance of an angel announcing the birth of <em>a Savior</em>. No doubt, it was a great relief and joy for the shepherds who received this good news.</p>
<p><strong>What is &ldquo;great good news&rdquo;?</strong></p>
<p>In this verse, the angel tells the shepherds not to be afraid because he brings them <em>&ldquo;good news.&rdquo;</em> But what exactly does the angel mean? The good news that the angel brings them is that <em>a Savior, the Messiah</em>, has been born. This meant that God&rsquo;s promise to send a Savior to redeem His people had been fulfilled.</p>
<p>The birth of Jesus brought joy and hope to a world immersed in darkness. That is why it is called <em>&ldquo;great good news,&rdquo;</em> because it was the answer to God&rsquo;s promise and brought hope and joy to all the hearts that needed it.</p>
