Then the angel said to 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

Great Joy for all the people*
1)Ordinary people.
In those days Shepherds were treated as common people. They suffered a lot in taking care of the sheep. Lived like nomadic people, staying outside their homes . They were poor people.
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.Then the angel said to 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 2:8‭-‬11


Yes the good news is for common men like shepherds

2) Wise men
The good news is not only for ordinary people or illiterate, but for intellectual or philosophers.
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”Matthew 2:1‭-‬2

 
They were learned people having much knowledge...

 
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.Matthew 2:10‭-‬11

 
Yes the good news is for wise men or women.

3) Religious people.
The good news is for religious people who always spend their time in matters of religion. In prayer,good works, etc
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.Luke 2:25

 Simon was Praising God..

 
So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,Luke 2:27‭-‬31

The gospel( good news) is needed for all.
For common men, the wisemen and for the religious... 

 
If you belong to any of above, this Joyful season be a time of receiving the greatest gift .

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, (Jesus Christ) that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.John 3:16
