Luke 2:8-20 / Keywords 2:11

GOD’S SIGN

 

1. The angels’ song (8-14)

An angel shining with the glory of the Lord announced Jesus’ birth. His birth is

good news of great joy to all people. Jesus is our Savior, Christ, and Lord, born to

bring salvation, eternal life, and the glorious kingdom of God into people’s hearts.

The sign God gave was small and humble - a baby in a manger. But Jesus’ birth

was glory to God in the highest and peace to men on whom his favor rests.

 

2. The shepherd’s faith (15-20)

Several shepherds were on night duty minding the sheep. The angel’s

appearance was terrifying to them, the message was too awesome, and the

heavenly host in song was so glorious. These shepherds were humble men who

took care of sheep. They accepted what was told them. They found Mary and

Joseph and the baby. They had eyes to see the Messiah. They rejoiced and spread

the good news.

 

Prayer Lord, we rejoice in the sign of God, Jesus our Savior. Open my eyes to

see Jesus daily through your word and your work in this restless world.

Glorify your name and grant us peace on earth through the Messiah’s

work.
