Bursting With The News!

The shepherds had been out all day keeping an eye on their sheep. At last the sheep are quieting down and resting.  Now it was their turn to rest. All of a sudden out of nowhere an angel appears to them. The glory of the Lord shone around him.  They are freaked out! But the angel says, "Don't be afraid, guys. I have great news and great joy, not just for you but for all people! Tonight in the City of David a Savior is born, which is Christ the Lord. This is the sign.  You will see the baby wrapped snugly in cloths and laying in a manger. All of a sudden... the sky BURSTS with angels singing, "Glory to God in the highest! Peace on Earth and goodwill to men!

May we be filled to bursting with the joy of the Lord and ready to share the good news of the gospel of Christ!

Merry Christmas!

*Luke 2:8-14

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 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. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
