  The day he was born an angel appeared to the shepherds and told them: "Do not be afraid, for behold. I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord" Luke 2: 10-11 Yes, and one thing I like to emphasize is that the angel said to the shepherds "Good news of joy to all people" not just to a selected group of people but to all people. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" Here is confirms what the angel told the shepherds, God's love is for the whole world but that does not mean the whole world be save, only those who believe in Jesus and receive him as their personal Lord and Savior should not perish but have everlasting life, the text says it.

And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way" John 15:13 says, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" Yes, Jesus love was so that He gave His life for all of us, His...

  Jesus is not just our older brother, the Son of the living God, the Creator, but he is also God. Let's see some Bible texts. Philippians 2: 5-6 says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God" Another text. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" As we can see here, Jesus, the Word, which was made flesh, and dwell among us... according to John 1: 14 was not only since the beginning with God but he himself was God. John 20: 27-28 says, Then saith he to Thomas. Reach hither thy finger, and behold thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him. My Lord and my God" Here Thomas (one of the disciples) called Jesus my Lord and my God.
