“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Lk. 2:10
The angel brought a message of good news that is to bring great joy, not just for the shepherds, but “to ALL people.” Yet most people are miserable. There are only two reasons for that, they either did not hear the good news or they rejected it. With God’s help, don’t let it be your fault if others around you are miserable.
“And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? 14And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. 15Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.” Ex. 2:13-15
Sometimes, well-meaning Christians do something they think is right, but neither the church nor the world accept them. Moses’ own brethren rejected him and Pharaoh tried to kill him. When you have these moments in your life, thank God you have a well to go sit down by. “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” Jn. 4:34
