The Baby Jesus and the Shepherds

What this episode covers

The Baby Jesus and the Shepherds Bible Reading: "And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”" "Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying," "“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”" "When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”" "So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told." Luke 2:8-20 Scripture Reflections to Consider: What can we glean from those at the inn who would not give up their room for Mary and Joseph? Do you desire a visit from an angel? Has the birth of Jesus Christ become commonplace to you? Why did the Father choose to reveal the birth of our Savior to shepherds? Do you hurry off to do the Word of God when you hear it? Do you spread the Word of God when you hear it? How about the Word concerning Jesus? What do you spread? Thank you for listening to this teaching from Kingdom Discipleship.
