THE GOOD SHEPHERD

SCRIPTURE: Luke 2:8-20
VERSE FOR TODAY: The angel said unto them, Fear not, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all people. For unto you us born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10-11).
HYMN FOR TODAY: "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear"

Think of it! The angels could have gone to the palace, or the synagogues, or the estates of the wealthy and powerful and told them the good news. But of all the people in Israel, it was those closest to the Lord that night who heard from the angelica host, and those alone who witnessed the manger where company of heavenly hosts, praising God, bringing a message of peace and joy to the shepherds.
When the shepherds heard the good news, they hurried off tor Mary and Joseph, and discovered for themselves things were "just as they had been told."
And our Lord grew up to fulfill the  angelic promise.  He is our Savior, He is our. Wonderful counselor, and He is the King of kings. He is the Truth and the way, He is the Lord of all, He is the Son of God. He is the Chief Cornerstone and He is the Light of the World.
All people who love Him discover He is just as they had been told." To each of us, He is our Good Shepherd now and forever more

PRAYER THOUGHT: Dearest Lord! You are Savior, Shepherd, Lamb of God, Might God. You are all we need You to be, now 
And always. Help us to always follow our Shepherd, Jesus Christ! Amen.
