We don’t have to live in panic



Luke 2:10 – But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 



We don’t have to live in brokenness



Luke 2:11 – Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 



C.S. Lewis: “Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” 



You don’t have to live in isolation



Luke 2:13-14 – Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
