Over 2,000 years ago the world received the greatest gift that has ever been given. The angel announced this gift to shepherds who were watching their flocks at night. The message of God’s angel explained what a truly remarkable event this was. The angel said:

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.” Suddenly a great company of heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.” (Luke 2:10-12; 14 NIV)Those shepherds were never the same again. They went to Bethlehem to see for themselves this great happening. After seeing the Christ child with their own eyes they left in great joy and shared this good news with everyone they met.

 They went to Bethlehem to see for themselves this great happening. 

On that first Christmas God fulfilled His promise to send a Savior who would rescue His people from their sins. What a blessing for the lowly shepherds to be the first people besides Mary and Joseph to hear about and see this great happening!

Years later the Apostle John by inspiration of the Holy Spirit acknowledged this miraculous gift with one of the most memorable verses in the Bible:

This single verse expresses two things that God delights in doing and those two things are loving and giving. Children are richly blessed when they have good and godly parents who bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Children are also blessed when they imitate the positive qualities of their Christian parents.“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are.” (1John 3:1 NIV)loving and giving.loving and giving as God’s children! This desire could become an important part of our New Year’s resolutions!  Wouldn’t that make our part of the world so much better?

Christmas is in the very best sense a gift that keeps on giving. May the Holy Spirit help us to receive this great gift with joy and thanksgiving and respond with growth in
