great joy to all the people
The angel said, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will come to all the people (Luke 2:10).
There is no news in the world that brings joy to everyone. One person's joy comes from another's pain. Behind the joy of those who rejoice in passing the exam are the tears of those who fail the exam. When one company does well, there are companies that go bankrupt because of that company. There is no news in the world that brings joy to everyone.
However, when the angels announced the news of the birth of Jesus, they said that this news was a great joy for all the people. The news of the birth of Jesus was good news for all people in the world. Jinkis Khan's success was a joy for the Mongolian people, but it also turned into a great disaster for the numerous peoples around him. Alexander's appearance was a joy for the Greek people, but it became a pain for many neighboring countries. The rise of Napoleon was a joy for the French, but a pain for other peoples. But the coming of Jesus was great good news for all nations.
Because Jesus came to give his all to the world, other heroes in the world have become heroes because they have what others do not have. Everything in the world has its limits, so if someone has it, someone has to lose it. Therefore, good news for one person or nation is sad news for another. But Jesus came to give his all. He gave his flesh and blood his life and everything to save mankind.
Jesus came as the lowest in the world and came to live a humble life. One person's success is one's failure because the world is trying to exalt each other. Because when someone succeeds, someone must fail. But Jesus came in the lowest place. Jesus, the king of mang kings, was born in a manger in a stable where cattle were raised.
Even those who believe in Jesus must work hard to earn money, study, and obtain a high position. But it must not be a joy that only me and my family rejoice. If you have money, you should use it for those who do not have it, and if you gain knowledge and gain status, you should use it to care for the powerless. Being rich shouldn't hurt anyone. I have to live a life of sharing so that my wealth is a joy to everyone else. My elevated status should not hurt anyone. My joy will be everyone's joy when I use it for the helpless through my position.
