And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
All who:
1: All People
2: Those who have HIS favor resting on them
3: Those who go when called.
Where are WE drawn to?
Luke 2:11 NIV84
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
We are drawn to where the Light is pointing us. It looks different for everyone.
What will we find when we get to the light?
Luke 2:12 NIV84
This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Three names were given to Jesus during the angel’s announcement.
1: Savior
2: Christ
3: The Lord(Anointed One)
Why does God send the light that draws us?
Luke 2:13–15 NIV84
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
