The Night

It was just Any Ordinary Night

2. Something Out of the Ordinary
The Message

1.
Good News
They
2. Great Joy
3. Unlimited Reach
4. Interesting And Unusual Sign
This is not what was expected.
They would be looking for someone to reveal himself in the context of and adult.
Not a vulnerable baby.

The Reaction
1.
Of The Heavens
lk 2
What do we learn from the Angels reaction?
a. God will Be Glorified
b.
God’s People are offered Peace
2. Of the Shepherds
-16
They got together and went to Bethlehem to check it out.
luke 2
This may not seem like a big deal, or it might seem obvious.
But how often do we act on what opportunities present themselves to us? Important note, they reacted immediately.
The longer you wait to react to God’s prompting the less likely you are to do so.
1.
They Did not Keep it Secret
2. People were engaged in their story
luke 2
What they believed they saw was enough.
The testimony going forward is not based on some great appearance it’s based on the convincing testamony of those who carry it forward.
Seeing God at Work during Christmas
At the End of the Grinch Story, there is a revelation.
The easily observed aspects of the holiday are not where the secret of Christmas lies at all.
1. Be Alert God might show up at any moment.
for the wise men, they searched long and hard in the stars, for the shepherds it was pretty obvious.
they were not looking for it.
2. Be Open to the Unconventional
Even the baby born today carries the miracle Of God at work.
3. React appropriate to the revelation God Gives you
Not all of us have full understanding the shepherds had what story to tell?
But they told what they knew, and people were amazed.
4. Live a convincing life.
Don’t be one who is kinda doing the thing one is supposed to.
Work to engage the gospel and look for God acting in the world among the ordinary in an extra ordinary way.
The world is full of shiny distractions.
And oddly those distractions for us can also be a distraction to those watching us as well.
God’s message to us is simple, it’s challenging, it’s against the cultural grain, and it comes with the responsibility to carry it forward.
So each year there is a present we need to all be faithful to give.
Jesus.
