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”.
