The Christmas story is ushered in with a song, “. . . and on earth peace, good will toward men" (Luke 2:14). Everyone was joyful, for something wonderful had happened. A great Teacher had come to earth to tell the simple secret of peace and joy. And what a secret it is.
When we have peace in our hearts, we also have love in our hearts and good will toward all men. Who but our Lord could have thought of such a simple way to happiness? And our Saviour, whose birth we celebrate this Christmas day, saves us from our sins and receives us to eternal life. No wonder we happily say to each other today, “Merry Christmas!”
