SHEPHERDS: This Changes Everything
If Luke included the shepherds in his gospel, then they must be devout, honorable men and women to be privileged by God to receive such a grandiose announcement about the birth of Jesus. But on the contrary, shepherding had changed from a family business like in David’s time, to an occupation that nobody wanted or respected. Luke likes to point out extreme differences or contrasts to strongly emphasize the message that God uses the most unlikely of people. He shows us that the birth of Jesus changes everything and everyone including the shepherds.
SERIES: This Changes Everything
In these days leading up to Christmas, we’re going to look at how Jesus’ coming into the world transformed the lives of those who experienced a genuine encounter with Him. The truth is, Jesus changed everyone He ever met. There was hardly ever a hint of ambivalence in most reactions toward Jesus. You were either decidedly for Him or against Him. But in those whose lives were changed for the better, their life and testimony is an encouragement for us all to surrender to the One Who loves us like no other. Join us for this journey into the lives of those most changed by Christ’s coming into the world.
