Shepherds and Angels
Manage episode 457229088 series 3338838
This week, we reflect on the extraordinary story of Jesus’ birth through the eyes of the shepherds in Luke 2. In the midst of their humble and ordinary lives, the shepherds are visited by angels proclaiming the arrival of the Savior, inviting them to witness God’s incredible work firsthand. Their response of faith, worship, and proclamation challenges us to do the same.
We are reminded that God doesn’t call the most powerful or prestigious to reveal His plans—He calls ordinary people, just like us, to experience and share His hope and life. Join us as we celebrate the humility of the Christmas story and the life-changing truth that Jesus’ birth offers access to God for all.
Questions for further discussion:
Why would the shepherds be terrified seeing the glory of God?
What is the contrast between that scene and the manger? What is the theological significance of this contrast? Of the shepherds being chosen?
What are the shepherds asked to do? How do they respond? How will you respond?
