Text: Luke 1-4; Luke 24:36-53; Exodus 33:18-19; Exodus 34:5-7
When the angels appeared to the shepherds, one of them first has to say to them, “Do not be afraid,” followed by the proclamation [related to evangelize], “A good news [gospel] of great joy.” The rest of the angels then sang, “Glory to God in the highest…”
From this account it appears that the gospel already exists, even as Jesus was only a few hours (or less) old. This sermon examines the connection between fear, glory, gospel, and joy. The connections help us see what the core of the gospel is, and what it is that evangelism entails. When the gospel is understood and accepted as God desires, fear of Him turn into joy.
