Devotion:
Read Luke 2:8-11.
Yesterday, we looked at the story of the “wise men” being sent to search for the newborn king. In today’s story from “The Gospel According To Luke” we read of shepherds also being sent to find this Christ child. Here, they are being sent as the result of the announcement of good news, that this child will be the Savior of the world. In the story from yesterday, the one doing the sending (King Herod) had no relationship with this child and didn’t know how to find him. But in this story from Luke, the angels are intimately acquainted with the One being born, and they have specific clues to give so that Christ can be found.
Later we read that not only did they find the child, but they wanted to tell everyone they could about what they had experienced. On this Christmas day, may their joy and desire help you be renewed in your commitment to seek Christ in your life and tell others about your experience with him. What would it look like for you if that were your goal 365 days of the year?
Personal Worship Option:
Join us for worship today at 10:00, either in the sanctuary or online. Can there be a more appropriate thing to do on Christmas Day than to celebrate Christ in worship?
