The Shepherd's Joy (Luke 2:8-20)

In this famous Christmas-time passage, we read of the heavenly announcement of the birth of Christ. God chose lowly Shepherds, not kings and princes to announce the birth of the Savior of the world. The news of Christ’s arrival is good news of great joy, dispelling our fears and inviting us in to join the chorus of the angels in giving glory to our gracious God. The gospel (Literally “good news”) is Jesus himself- the savior who is Christ the Lord.
