Today's Good News

DEC. 24 – BIRTH

12/24          Luke 2:8-12

The Shepherds and Angels

8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”

VISIT

The first visitors to observe the birth of Jesus was the shepherds.

They were unclean because they cared for sheep.

The unclean visited the Spotless Lamb of God-Jesus is Lord.
