Extra! Extra! Tell All About It!

 Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains
    are the feet of him who brings good news,
who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness,
    who publishes salvation,
    who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
8 The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice;
    together they sing for joy;
for eye to eye they see
    the return of the Lord to Zion.
9 Break forth together into singing,
    you waste places of Jerusalem,
for the Lord has comforted his people;
    he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has bared his holy arm
    before the eyes of all the nations,
and all the ends of the earth shall see
    the salvation of our God.

The prophet Isaiah is the source in the New Testament for many fulfilled prophecies of the Messiah. When we look at the passage above, we think of the angels on the mountainside singing the Good News to the shepherds and Paul's reminder that the message first came to the Jews, but it was meant for the whole world. May we meditate upon and proclaim this good news message of joy over and over: Christ is born!
