Today’s Bible Verse: “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’” — Luke 2:10 (NIV)

Luke 2:10 announces the heart of the Christmas story—good news that brings great joy. Spoken to ordinary shepherds in the middle of an ordinary night, this verse reminds us that God’s joy is not reserved for the powerful or prepared. It arrives unexpectedly and reaches everyone.

Advent invites us to receive this joy even when fear, uncertainty, or weariness try to take center stage. The angel’s words still speak today: fear doesn’t get the final word—joy does.
