“The fear of the wicked it shall come upon him, but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.” (Proverbs 10:24)
Mary, Joseph, the angel, heaven’s
host, the shepherds, and wise men experienced extraordinary joy upon the
Messiah’s arrival. But King Herod, hearing of His
birth, ordered the murder of every male child from two years old and under
(Matthew 2:16) to safeguard his kingdom.
The Good News of Jesus still causes
rejoicing or dread in people's hearts today. Joy and anticipation fill the
hearts of those right with God who love and serve Him and await the return of
His Son. But some without Christ live in fear of death and the unknown, while others
reject Him, thinking He came to take away what they cling to and treasure. Do you
rejoice in God, our Savior or, have you turned Him away, ridding yourself of
Him to satisfy your worldly desires? One day soon, Jesus will return to take His
Father’s children home. People left behind—those without Christ—face a terror
far beyond their fears and selfish thinking.
