Isaiah 40:9 states, O Zion that bringest good
tidings, get the up into a high mountain; O Jerusalem that bringest good tidings,
lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities
of Judah, Behold your God.”
What
were those good tidings/ the good news
was that Jesus the Christ was coming to dwell among men and women on this
earth. What is the good news of this Christmas
season? It is that Christ came two thousand
years ago to save sinners and he is still saving the lost in the twenty-first
century. Christ is still freeing people
from the awful bondage and slavery of sin.
What
should we do during this Christmas season?
The people of God should turn up the sound system so that people may
hear the good news of the Gospel. That
is what the prophet Isaiah proclaimed.
Get thee up into a high mountain so that people will be able to hear the
good news. Tell the
congregation of people and the choir and the orchestra and the pianist and the
organist to “lift up thy voice with strength” that Jesus Christ still saves
sinners. Do not be afraid to lift up your voice to saints and sinners alike
that there is good news this Christmas season.
Tell them,”BEHOLD YOUR GOD”.
