As they moved about tending their flocks, the shepherds were often accused of being thieves and unreliable.
Then heavenly messengers visited them and life changed.
Luke 2:9,11,13-14 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
[11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
[13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
[14]Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
God had a place in His grace and in His love for these dirty, defiled sinners. They found Jesus, believed in Him, and left with a song in their heart.
God loves us in spite of what we are – Rom. 5:8. I’m glad I have that song in my heart.
“O come, all ye faithful, - Joyful and triumphant, — O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem. — Come and behold Him, — Born the King of Angels; — O come, let us adore Him, — O come, let us adore Him, — O come, let us adore Him, — Christ the Lord.”
Ideas for this unprofitable blog are taken from The Sermon Notebook—Biblical resources for preachers and teachers of the word of God. They allow these sermons to be used as the Lord leads but not for profit.
