Luke 2:8-12

Thoughts: That night, shepherds were minding their own business, doing their job, and watching their sheep. Suddenly, these celestial beings transported out of nowhere, lighting up the sky brighter than lightning. Of course they were frightened. They may have not had the highest place in society, but Jesus came for them along with everyone else. Their profession even received the honor of Jesus being called The Great Shepherd (John 10:11-18). Sometimes, we may feel powerless in this world; we may feel afraid of our circumstances. Losing a job. Losing a relationship. Losing our life. But we gain so much by giving our fear to our savior. The baby was born to be our Savior in this world so that we won’t face fear in the next world.

Key Phrases: Be not afraid
