GOOD NEWS... is this really our message to the WORLD?

[reFORMer]

Jesus tells us to go into all the world and preach the good news to every creature;
which, if it is worse than bad news for many or most, God would be making us liars.

Luke 2:8-14 (AV)...
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

In spiritual immaturity we come with our carnal animalistic desires expecting Him in the manger to fulfill.  Early on He is laid in an animal's feeding trough.  That's where we find Him.  And His body is bound like a mummy, wrapt with strips of rags torn from the figgy fabric whose warp* is the doctrines of men and whose woof** is the traditions of men, their authority.  The body is immovable.  The head is only able to make a few inarticulate cries...O, but it is Him, lying there...

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
