And it reads as we near Christmas.

We are reflecting on how certain people in the Bible responded to the arrival of the birth of the Messiah, and we consider our own responses to Jesus Christ in our lives.

Imagine you are a Shepherd in ancient Israel.

What about, when suddenly, the sky is lit up and one injured.

Again became a multitude of the Heavenly Host, praising God, and saying, glory to God in the highest and on Earth.

Peace, Good.

Will to men.

No surprise that they immediately ran to find a child in a manger and return passionately glorifying and praising.

God, Fair confusion, Joy.

The shepherd's experience of emotions that historic night.

How about you, and you hear this story?

Are you filled with all, do you empathize with the confusion and Fear?

Can you feel their Joy?

If not, we read Luke Chapter, 2, and try to Envision in front the shepherd's perspective from the shepherd's perspective.

Once again, I pray that the holy spirit will fill you with joy, this Christmas season.

Jesus came to save the world from the grip of sin.

But first, you must ask him to forgive you, your sins and be a part of your life.

You can do that right now.

You can do that today.

Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

He says do not be afraid.
