Read Luke 2:8-14 from your Bible
A weary day in the fields, the shepherds are watching their flocks. It is an ordinary day, probably no different than any other. The shepherds are hot, dirty, sweaty, and smelling of sheep. Many, not able to get a jobs anywhere else, had resorted to being shepherds.
But to these lowly Shepherds God sent his most magnificent angels to announce, “Christ will be born to YOU! He is to be born in a stable, clothed in rags and lying in a feed trough.” He knows what it is to be lowly. He has humbled himself so that all men might be raised to join the Heavenly Father in His Glory! He would be visited by the wealthy magi, as well as, the humble shepherds. High and low, weak and strong, rich and poor, male and female, servant and master, everyone is invited to meet the Prince of Peace.
Christ has always brought joy to the ordinary, peace to the weary, and hope to the lowly! Everyone is invited to receive his blessing. It does not matter who you are, or what kind of work you do, Christ was born to YOU!
Christ does not love us for our position, for our money, or for our connections. Christ loves us because of who He is! He loves us not because of anything we have done, but because of what he has done. He was born to die for the sins of all men that we all might have the opportunity to be saved!
Thank God for his glorious gift that brings peace and joy to every ordinary person on any ordinary day!
