Tell The World That "Love" Has Come! (Part 3)

The shepherds were told by angels that the Savior was born in Bethlehem. They hurried to see for themselves. "So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this child" (Luke 2:16-17).

What "statement" or news did the shepherds share? The news that "Jesus is Christ (the promised Messiah!) the Lord." (Luke 2:11b). Jesus is the Messiah (Luke 1:32-33, II Samuel 7:12-14). Jesus is Lord! (Diety! the Son of God! 1:32b).

May we, as believers, be faithful to share the good news that Jesus is the Mesiah - He Is Lord!

Prayer: "Lord, use me today to share the "good news"!

Blessings!
