Summary
Luke 2:8-14 reveals God announcing Jesus's birth to lowly shepherds, demonstrating that no one is too far from God's reach. The announcement of Christ's birth created awe and wonder in both heavens and earth, showing that God works silently over long periods before revealing His completed work to the world.
Highlights
We are never too far away from the Lord, we are never too far down, and we are never too low of a class for the God of the universe to see us, to use us, and to work into our lives.
God is doing more than you know in your story right now because we are not excluded from that good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
The only reason we do what we do not just this week and next week but for years to come is that you sent your son to die on a cross to atone for our sins so that humanity could one day join you in the heavens.
