Week 52: Good Tidings of Great Joy
Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke 2:10
The year ends where the New Testament began: in Bethlehem. Shepherds in the fields heard an angel say, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Mary kept these things and pondered them in her heart. Simeon and Anna recognized the Child in the temple. Wise men followed a star. This Christmas week, let these familiar verses feel new again.
This companion follows Christmas for the week of December 20 – 26, alongside your Come, Follow Me New Testament study.
