Shepherds: A Night to Remember
December 11, 2022Luke 2:8-12
Christmas Personalities
Consider the significance of shepherds in the Bible. God refers to Himself as a Shepherd (See Genesis 48:15, Psalm 23, Jeremiah 31:10, and John 10).
Have you ever thought about the part and the place that shepherds had in the Christmas story? They were nearby at the birth of Jesus. They heard from the angels about the birth of the Savior. The shepherds reacted to the message of the angels. They worshiped, and they went to tell others in response.
Note the following teaching points:
Born into a Roman world
The unglamorous life of a shepherd
The celebration of good news
A birth marked by humility
