The Three Whys Of Christmas

Presentation transcript:

The Surprise Guest Bethlehem at this particular time in history was a busy little town. Many people would have traveled days or weeks to reach Bethlehem or other destinations. An angel went to anonymous shepherds in the fields near Bethlehem and announced His birth. Through the perspective of the shepherds we can find some reasons for God's choice to make His announcement to them. It revealed God's grace. God extends His grace to you. The shepherds were in a quiet place and were keeping watch. They believed the message of Luke 2: They went fully expecting and believing that the message from the angel was true. Jesus Christ was born and the message of salvation through Him was given for all of us. The shepherds wasted no time in proclaiming the good news! God wants to share a special message with you today. Are you ready to receive it?
