 HER FIRSTBORN SON

“It isn’t our birthday, is it? It’s the Lord’s birthday and it’s a time to remember His birth and what it is supposed to mean to us.” Melvin Newland
 7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
 8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
 9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
 10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
It is amazing that God chose to use shepherds to announce the birth of Jesus. They were not in the upper class you might say in fact they were on the opposite end. He chose the lowly things and the despised to usher in this great moment. He also went to an insignificant village and found a peasant girl who was pure to be the mother of His only begotten son.
Did you know he still makes his announcement to you today. “Unto you a Savior is born.” God wants you to know that life matters and that you count with him. It is impossible to live and not influence someone either good or for bad. Our lives and those of shepherds and Kings are important to God. Our faith matters and we need to remember he’s not a baby anymore; he is sitting on the right hand of God waiting to come again like he said he would do.
Keep your faith, do all your hands find to do with all your might and celebrate not only his birth but his resurrection and keep your eyes toward the Eastern sky for as sure as he made this announcement to the shepherds He is coming again to gather those who are faithful. No one knows but this could be the season and the time he takes us home. “Oh! What a day that will be.”
REMEMBER

“If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
