The Savior has been born, and he will be the Savior of everybody and the Savior of anybody

who comes and believes.

The humblest, the most ignorant, the most uneducated, the most lowly and unskilled, even despised.

He is the Savior of everybody who is saved from every people and tongue and tribe and nation

on the face of the earth and anybody who chooses to come.

Welcome to Grace to You with John MacArthur. I'm your host, Phil Johnson. With December 25th,

fast approaching, how are you doing at staying focused on what's truly important and lasting and hopeful about Christmas?

Even if you know by heart what the Bible says about Christmas, it's possible that one of the most significant aspects, second only to the actual birth of Jesus, has never hit you as it should have.

Today on Grace to You, John MacArthur shows you that lesser-known element of the Christmas story,

helping you fully embrace what he calls the promise of Christmas.

That's the title of our study.

So go to Luke chapter 2 if you're able and follow along as John begins the lesson.

Let's open our Bibles to the second chapter of Luke's Gospel. Now the message is good news.

Good news, verse 10, good news of great joy.

And what's so good news?

There has been born for you a Savior.

The Savior has come who will save his people from their sins and therefore from death and

hell from the judgment of God and who will bring them into the promised blessings of a

kingdom and a king of blessing beyond description and imagination, eternal glory, all that, good news, good news,

folks, good news.

There is a Savior, there is forgiveness of sin, you can't escape hell, you can go to heaven

forever, you can be blessed by God.
