Advent – Share the Good News
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army of angels praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased.” Luke 2:13-14
The Christmas song for today is ‘Go Tell It on the Mountain’ compelled by John Wesley Work Jr. This song dates back to at least 1865 and the words to this Christmas song declares the great commission – go tell it on the mountain. We need to see ourselves commissioned every single day of our lives to share the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the hope that lies within us.
The next line says “over the hills and everywhere”. The commission is everywhere. Thankfully due to modern technology we do not need to travel to do this. With just one click, the good news can reach from Australia to Iceland. But we need not to travel so far, we ought to go to our family, our neighbors, our coworkers, and into the market place declaring this great news. Every place is a mission field.
You are commissioned to go and tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born! Go shine like a beacon in the dark world.
