Shepherds
Composed 12/3/11
Who was it that was first
told
a story that would unfold
right before their very
own eyes.
Were they ever in for a
surprise!
It's the shepherds! They
were so surprised!
It's recorded they were
quite terrified!
This news was too
terrific;
in fact, quite fantastic!
So off they hurried to see
if it was so
still basking in the
heavenly glow
of the glory of the Lord
that could not be ignored.
Was the Savior of the
world born?
They arrived long before
morn
to find each detail just
as the angel said.
Yes! A baby was lying in
the manger bed!
This baby, a Savior,
Christ the Lord,
would bring peace and joy
abroad
to every tribe in every
nation
even down to our
generation!
After witnessing this
glorious news
they testified to
everyone, not just a few.
Everyone was amazed
at history's new phase.
Amazement!
Wonderment!
Too good to be true
This promise came due.
The world would never be
the same
as the shepherds gladly
proclaimed
this good news bringing
great joy.
These first missionaries
or envoys.
These shepherds paved the
way
for the Good Shepherd that
day.
The Good Shepherd who came
to save the lost world,
to bring joy and peace, to
ease our heavy loads.

God's Son is referred to
as the Good Shepherd.
David referred to him as
"my" Shepherd.
The Lord longs to be your
personal Savior.
To give you rest from
burdens that labor.
Take a minute to read Luke
2 (10-11)
and notice each word
"you."
This good news is for you.
This Savior was born for
you.
Right now, today, make God
personal.
He's ready and willing,
always available.
A simple prayer will
connect you
to the One who came to
save you.
The Lord is my
Shepherd...
Psalm 23:1
I am the Good Shepherd;
I know my sheep
and my sheep know me.
John 10:14
May the God of peace...
that great Shepherd of
the sheep,
equip you with
everything good
for doing his will,
and may he work in us
what is pleasing to him,
through Jesus Christ,
to whom be glory for
ever and ever.
Amen.
Hebrews 13:20
