VERSE FOR TODAY: The angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all people. For unto you is 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 angelic host, and those alone who witnessed the manger where this miraculous Child lay. So there was that night a great company of heavenly hosts, praising God, bringing s message of peace and joy-- to shepherd's.
When the shepherds heard the good news, they hurried off to 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 the good news who brings great joy to all those who love Him. 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, and He is the Son of God. He is the Chief Cornerstone and He is the Light of the World.
All people who Him discover He is "just as they had been told." To each of us, He is our Good Shepherd, now and forever more.
PRAYER THOUGHTS: Dearest Lord! You are Savior, Shepherd, Lamb of God, Mighty God. You are all we need You to be, now and always. Help us always to follow our Shepherd, Jesus Christ! Amen.
