Shepherds & Angels

"O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie..." We sing this carol probably every year. But was it a still night just outside of Bethlehem? The shepherds watching over their flocks that night would probably say, "No!" Their night was disturbed with good news of great joy - and a whole lot of fear - when an angel, then host of angels, appeared to them. The news? The Messiah, the Savior, had been born in Bethlehem. After their visit to the newborn baby, they spread the news of great joy to whomever would listen. The reason for their joy? Their Savior had been born. Today, the news is still good news of great joy for us. Our Savior has been born. Do you know the joy of sins forgiven? There is a Savior! He wants to be yours.
