In this Sunday’s gospel, the angel Gabriel is sent to Mary to deliver the Good News – the Good News of Christmas. But as Pastor James points out in his message, the good news of Christmas rests not in the gifts, dinners, and Christmas cheer, but in the Christmas gospel news that Mary has found favor with God and will bear His Son – the Savior – Jesus. That’s the Good News of Christmas – that’s the news that needs to be sounded – today – tomorrow – forever.
