A Savior

And the angel said unto them Fear not … for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11

It was dark.  The shepherds watched their sheep laying quietly about them.  Another silent night spent on the familiar hills surrounding Bethlehem.  Suddenly, a bright light shines upon them and they hear the voice of the angel proclaim, “Fear not, for unto you is born in Bethlehem a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

The angel did not declare the news of Christ’s birth to those in the temple or to those who sat in positions of power.  Rather, the angel came to the lowly shepherds and invited them to come and see where the child lay. 

Thank God for His invitation to them and to you and me.
