When the angels appeared before the shepherds in Bethlehem, they came bringing a message of “good news” rather than tips for improving our life or the world around us. On this program, the hosts will discuss the nature of the Christian gospel and its roots in the Old Testament promises of a coming redemption. They’ll also discuss the relationship between good news and the “great joy” that we experience in response (originally aired 12-24-17). __________ For a gift of $50 or more, request your copy of Michael Horton’s new book, Recovering Our Sanity – How the Fear of God Conquers the Fears That Divide Us, go to whitehorseinn.org/fearofgod. __________ Become a partner and you will receive all of the White Horse Inn extended episodes, access to our extensive archive as well as a subscription to our magazine, Modern Reformation.
