The message of the gospel is not just the good news that Christ came to bring us salvation, it is joy, and joy for all. In biblical times, Israel was thought to be God's people, they had the privilege of an expectant redemption at the hands of a king who would be greater than all kings.
The message of the gospel teaches us that Christ didn't only come to redeem the children of Israel, he came to redeem us all. This message of hope and joy is for everyone.
No matter what you have done, what you are experiencing, your social status, the family you come from, this message is for you. He came for YOU, don't ever think you are not good enough for him.
Amen. God has made his kingdom available to all. We only have to give our lives over to him.
